Optogenetics: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

This volume provides researchers with up-to-date protocols and takes a

close look at current research and promising applications. Optogenetics:

Methods and Protocols contains a collection of recently developed technical

protocols on optogenetic applications in neuroscience, brain mapping, treatment

of neurological disorders, and restoration of visual function. Several

introductory and discussion chapters offer a wide overview about sources and

diversity of optogenetic tools, design strategies, and potential applications

in other fields like plant research. Written in the highly successful Methods

in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their

respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,

readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and

avoiding known pitfalls.



Cutting edge and thorough, Optogenetic: Methods and Protocols, delivers

an interdisciplinary view of optogenetic applications and its potential to

develop as a valuable tool for basic research, as well as biomedical and

biotechnological applications.
