New technology allows light to control neural processes
Millisecond-timescale control of neuronal spiking, as well as control of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission. It is claimed that this technology allows the use of light to alter neural processing at the level of single spikes and synaptic events, yielding a widely applicable tool for neuroscientists and biomedical engineers.
