Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed an optical imaging and optogenetics two photon laser system that uses a single beam to illuminate many sites in three-dimensions.
To better understand how the brain processes information and generates behavior, researchers in Dr. Liqun Luo's lab have generated the FosTRAP and ArcTRAP mouse strains.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed specific, inducible animal models for depression that use targeted optogenetic strategies to precisely dissect the neuronal circuits underlying the condition.
Researchers in Prof. Robert Malenka's laboratory have developed a light-activated animal system that could be used to identify compounds that treat certain psychiatric disorders.
