The use of optogenetics in Parkinson's Disease research could potentially do wonders towards finding treatment and cures for the disease. Kravitz and his team published a paper in Nature that showed that optogenetics could improve an animal model of Parkinsonism! (Granted, they also showed they could worsen it). Optogenetics, which utilizes different expressed proteins to inhibit or increase neuronal firing with light, is a very useful tool in this field.
Optogenetics use simple viral carrier systems that help deliver genes to the neurons; opsins (Channel rhodopsin being used to activate firing potentials and Halorhodopsin to inhibit them with different wavelengths of light) allow for this to happen, and ultimately allow for neuronal firing to be manipulated at precise milisecond intervals.
In the case of the Parkinsonian research, the experiment performed was a manipulation of the basal ganglial pathways (which are suspects implied in PD). There was optogenetic control via channelrhodospin of MSNs (medium spiny projection neurons) as well as regulation of dopamine receptors. If the direct pathway was activated, there was an increase of locomotion as well as a reduction of "freezing", which had been observed when the indirect pathway was activated and parkinsonian states were elicited (which had decreased locomotion and increased freezing). Intrigued to see where this will go in the future!

I had my first outbreaks and I was tested back in 2010 for both HSV-1 and
HSV-2. Both my husband and I tested positive for HSV-1. Last year I found
out my husband was cheating, so I decided to do a retest on all STDs
including HSV-1 and HSV-2, only difference is that this time I went to a
different clinic. Anyway I tested positive for HSV-1 which I knew I had but
surprisingly HSV-2 as well, I was so upset and got divorced with my
husband. 3 months ago a friend of mine recommended me to an African Herbal
doctor DR.Alfred. I explained everything that I have been passing through
all these years to him and he encouraged me that I will be cured
completely!. I ordered for his herbal exploit/medicine and used it
accordingly to his direction and within short period of using the herbal
medicine I was cured completely from my HSV-1 and HSV-2. I'm so relieved to
say that I've not had even one outbreak ever since again and I was also
tested Negative by my doctor. I'm feeling so great! from within and I truly
endorse this product, it really works. His herbal medicine is very active
and effective.and he can cast spell to restore broken marriages,and other
can of cure for #HERPES, #DIABETES, #CANCER, #HEPATITIS, #HPV..... You can
contactl doctor alfred on email.....dralfrednaturalcurehome@gmail.com and
you can call/whatsapp him with +2348119017866 for your own cure too..
I’m here to testify about what DR. ISIBOR did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 3 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. ISIBOR on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. ISIBOR prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. ISIBOR assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HIV, ALS, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. ISIBOR for help via email} drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or call +2348107855231
