In Greek mythology Aion is the god of unbounded time, contrasting Chronos, the god that represents progressive time. Chronos also has been around in the world of optogenetics since a while. So, it was time for Aion to enter the stage. https://t.co/G8TfRuElrO

This was a great meeting in the impressive environment of the UNESCO world heritage city of Beaza. I learned a lot about cellular sensors and hope to have contributed some insights about using light sensors for optogenetics. Thanks so much for the invitation @neuroviana

In this small study we show that engrafted iPSC cardiomyocytes can initiate an impulse that leads to whole ventricular contraction. These results highlight to watch out for graft-induced arrhythmia!

Time to hit the road after an amazing @OptoGRC meeting full of cutting edge science, great people and yummy food. Many thanks for the invitation and the organization to @OferYizhar @okaysteve and @bjmarlin

[Optogenetics Gordon Research Conference @OptoGRC]

Get ready to hear about new tools in the world of Optics, Genetics, and Optogenetics at #OptoGRC2024! 🌟🔦

Led by @LabMasseck & featuring Elena Govorunova, @Gao_SQ, @SimWieg, Tommaso Fellin, @_ChGrimm & @fuzikjanos

You won't want to miss out on this "illuminating" discussion!

As the time for @FENSorg approaches, the struggle of searching for poster abstracts on the official website becomes real.

But fear not, we are back with the unofficial #FENS2024 abstract database, with a new, fast, and searchable format.

PdCO is a switchable optogenetic tool for inhibiting synaptic transmission in neuronal terminals in vivo, as demonstrated in a variety of contexts mainly in the mouse.
