Light Up Your Research: Use & Selection of Optogenetic Mouse Models

Posted on May 22, 2013 2:34:00 AM

Light Up Your Research: Use and Selection of Optogenetic Mouse Models

Free Webinar - The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, US

Take part in our two live webinars where you'll discover dozens of models — including our collection of optogenetic strains, for studying neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease.

Have you heard about optogenetic mouse strains but are not sure how they work? Join us as we discuss not only the basics of optogenetic mouse models but also different ways researchers are using optogenetic tools to investigate the neural circuitry underlying complex behaviors and neural diseases. Our webinar will highlight

Optogenetic basics-- including differences between channelrhodopsins and halorhodopsins

Applications for optogenetic technology-- in vitro and in vivo

Our extensive collection of optogenetic mouse models

How to combine optogenetic and Cre recombinase technologies

Additional online optogenetic resources

Presenter: Emily Jocoy, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
Moderator: Kathy Snow, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
