Topic: THE DEVELOPMENT OF SONOGENETICS
Abstract: Sonogenetics refers to the use of genetic encoded, ultrasound-responsive mediators for noninvasive and selective control of neural activity. It is a promising tool for studying neural circuits. However, due to its infancy, basic studies and developments are still underway, including gauging key in vivo performance metrics such as spatiotemporal resolution, selectivity, specificity, and safety. In this talk, I will summarize our recent findings on sonogenetics to highlight technical hurdles that have been cleared, challenges that remain, and future directions for optimization. |
