Pulse electrical stimulation drives cell-type specific neuromodulation
Pulse electrical stimulation drives cell-type specific neuromodulation
DBS allows researchers and doctors to use thin electrodes implanted in the brain to send electrical signals to the part of the brain that controls movement
Corresponding author of the paper, Aryn Gittis, associate professor of biological sciences at the school, said that this new study may change this situation
Researchers hope to use optogenetics, a technology that uses light to control genetically modified neurons
In the new research protocol, the researchers targeted specific neuronal subgroups in the globus pallidus (a region of the brain's basal ganglia) and used short pulses of electrical stimulation
Next, Pittsburgh Allegheny Health Network neurosurgeon Nestor Tomycz will use Gittis research for human safety and tolerability research
