Abstract

En 中文
Optogenetics has emerged as a pivotal tool in neuroscience, enabling intricate modulation of targeted neurons within the nervous system. Despite its transformative potential, achieving high spatiotemporal resolution in neuromodulation remains a significant challenge, particularly in free-behaving animals. This review aims to highlight recent advances in optogenetic systems for neuromodulation, focusing on the efforts to achieve superior precision in spatiotemporal control. We provide a comprehensive overview of the breakthroughs in optogenetic tools that offer ultrafast responsiveness, strategies for targeted tissue- and cell-specific optogene delivery, and methods for precise optical stimulation with minimal impact on the behavior of subjects. Additionally, we review the applications of optogenetics in neurological diseases, emphasizing its potential to advance therapeutic interventions. These innovations are poised to propel optogenetics into a new era, accelerating its clinical translation for precision neuromodulation and treatment of neurological disorders.
