1. Vagus Learning
Vagus Learning is the subject of a new iScience study shared from ScienceDirect. The researchers report that stimulating the vagus nerve after training improved long-term learning in mice.
Optogenetic Viruses is the focus of a question in r/neuro about how researchers place light-sensitive proteins in neurons. The post asks how viral vectors deliver genes for proteins such as channelrhodopsin or halorhodopsin to a neuron’s membrane.
Brain Disease Models comes from a r/neuro question about studying disorders whose causes are complex and still unknown. The post links to a short video and asks how researchers can investigate a disease when there may be many interacting biological factors.
