…That Turns on the Brain: “…[A] new generation of genetic and optical technology can give researchers unprecedented power to turn on and off targeted sets of cells in the brain, and to do so by remote control. These novel techniques will bring an “exponential change” in the way scientists learn about neural systems, said Dr. Helen Mayberg, a clinical neuroscientist at Emory University, who is not involved in the research but has seen videos of the worm experiments… Some day, the remote-control technology might even serve as a treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders.” (New York Times )
