Optogenetics: Eye Movements at Light Speed

Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

The use of optogenetics to alter behavior in primates has been challenging, but now a group has managed to activate neurons in the monkey frontal cortex with light and show that this speeds up their performance
