Using laser light guided through ultra-thin optic fibers in the brain of rodents, the researchers “turned on” light-sensitive proteins in selective brain cells and were able to eventually cause seizures through repeated laser stimulation. These findings were published March 27, 2019 in the journal Scientific Reports.</p> Wed, 27 Mar 2019 18:52:15 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 154370 at /newsroom
