Illuminate Your Neuroscience Research with Pre-made Optogenetics AAV Vectors
Our pre-made optogenetics AAV vectors offer a powerful tool for precise control of neuronal activity. By expressing light-sensitive ion channels, you can manipulate neuronal firing patterns with millisecond precision.
How It Works:
- Vector Delivery: AAV vectors carrying genes for light-sensitive ion channels, such as Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) or Halorhodopsin (NpHR), are delivered to specific neurons.
- Protein Expression: The AAV vectors express the ion channels within the targeted neurons.
- Optical Stimulation: Fiber optics are used to deliver light pulses to the neurons expressing the ion channels.
- Neural Activity Modulation: The light-activated ion channels respond to the light pulses, causing changes in membrane potential and ultimately altering neuronal activity.
- ChR2: Activates neurons upon exposure to blue light.
- NpHR: Inhibits neurons upon exposure to yellow light.
Key Applications:
- Circuit Mapping: Identify neural circuits involved in specific behaviors and cognitive functions.
- Neuromodulation: Manipulate neural activity to study the effects on behavior and physiology.
- Disease Modeling: Model neurological disorders and identify potential therapeutic targets.
- Drug Discovery: Screen for compounds that modulate neuronal activity.
