Optogenetics From Neuronal Function to Mapping and Disease Biology
Edited by Krishnarao Appasani GeneExpression Systems, Inc., Massachusetts
Optogenetics – a revolutionary technique combining genetic and optical methods to observe and control the function of neurons – has huge potential, with applications from brain circuits and sleep to neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. This book is a reference for researchers and graduate students, as well as for those working in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Contents: Part I. Optogenetics in Model Organisms; Part II. Opsin Biology, Tools and Technology Platform; Part III. Optogenetics in Neurobiology, Brain Circuits and Plasticity; Part IV. Optogenetics in Learning, Neuro-psychiatric Diseases and Behavior; Part V. Optogenetics in Vision Restoration and Memory; Part VI. Optogenetics in Sleep, Prosthetics and Epigenetics of Neurodegenerative Diseases. ‘Optogenetics has transformed neuroscience and has become a key element of the toolkit used by thousands of labs worldwide. If anyone needs convincing that the field of optogenetics has come of age, this book provides compelling evidence. Written by leading experts in the field and covering the gamut of optogenetics research from tool development and use in basic research through to translational applications, Optogenetics exemplifies how this technique now illuminates all areas of neuroscience research.’ Michael Hausser, University College London, ‘’Let there be light’. Or more precisely, deliver the needed wavelength at appropriate power, with high temporal and spatial resolution if you want to figure out how brain circuits work. This volume has many excellent chapters and the right toolbox for the job.’ György Buzsáki, Neuroscience Institute and Langone Medical Center, New York University 2017 247 x 174 mm 502pp 65 b/w illus. 37 colour illus. 6 tables 978-1-107-05301-4 Hardback £131.00 / US$184.00 For all formats available, see
