Israeli lab ‘switches off’ brain connectors, boosting efforts to treat disorders – The Times of Israel
Scientists say they have successfully shut down pathways in animal brains, which will give neurobiologists unprecedented opportunities to find treatments for human…
Israeli scientists have developed a way to switch off connectors that link different parts of the brain, in an advance they say could prove key to treating neurological disorders like epilepsy.
The innovation, which relies on a light-sensitive protein from mosquitos, was reported on Tuesday in the peer-reviewed journal Neuron. The breakthrough has been discussed in medical circles for several weeks, and dozens of neurobiology teams around the world are already ordering the protein and using the…
