Rechèch la nouvo, ki te dirije pa Pablo Mendez ak byen ta nan Dominique Muller nan, ki trajik te mouri nan yon aksidan glisman nan mwa avril ane pase a, baze sou travay nan sa a pi bonè. Yo te kreye manipile jenetikman sourit eksprime kr nan selil granule sou yon bò nan sèvo a, nan dante rejyon nan ipokanp la. selil Machin granule yo newòn yo prensip nan rejyon sa a nan ipokanp la, ki fè yo te panse yo dwe kritik pou fonksyon ipokanpal tankou memwa ak espasyal navigasyon. Yo mete bèt yo nan kaj gwo, sa ki pèmèt kèk nan yo yo eksplore anviwònman nouvo yo. An atandan, yo optogenetically aktive selil granule o aza nan kèk nan sourit yo, men se pa lòt moun.

The new research, led by Pablo Mendez and the late Dominique Muller, who tragically died in a gliding accident in April of last year, builds on this earlier work. They created genetically engineered mice expressing ChR in granule cells on one side of the brain, in the dentate region of the hippocampus. Granule cells are the principle neurons in this region of the hippocampus, which are thought to be critical for hippocampal functions such as memory and spatial navigation. They placed the animals into large cages, allowing some of them to explore their new environment. Meanwhile, they optogenetically activated random granule cells in some of the mice, but not others.
