Cell Rep Methods
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- DREADDs are advanced receptors that let scientists control neuron activity in living organisms, making it easier to study brain functions.
- The newly developed miniD and miniD receptors are smaller versions of existing DREADDs, which help in both activating and inhibiting neuron activity.
- Researchers successfully used a single viral vector to deliver these mini receptors, allowing them to manipulate brain activity effectively in monkeys, potentially enhancing research in brain regulation and behavior.
