Neuroscience: Visual restoration with optogenetics
Abstract
Treating photoreceptor degenerative diseases is an exciting application of optogenetic technologies. However, there are significant challenges, such as producing normal visual signaling as the retina rewires in response to photoreceptor death. However, a new study shows remarkable functional stability in retinal circuits that can be engaged by optogenetics following photoreceptor loss.
