Artificial Memory Reactivation Using a Red-shifted Opsin<\/span>

\"\"<\/h3>\n

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
\n<\/strong>Memory recall can be artificially induced by optically reactivating the cells which were active during a salient experience. While the behavioral outputs have been extensively explored, the network dynamics underlying this memory reactivation remain unknown. The primary method for optically recording neuronal activity uses blue light, while optically activating the memory associated cells also uses blue light. To enable simultaneous optical stimulation and recording, we are validating artificial memory reactivation using a red-shifted opsin.<\/span><\/p>\n
