Light used to monitor nerves of flies
11/10/2008
Gero Miesenböck studies the nervous system of flies by using light as a tool rather than the more cumbersome electrode. The optical signals record the activity of neurons. The neurons being studied are those which react to smell. These neurons are programmed genetically to respond to light and trigger an electrical impulse.
