Karl Deisseroth is pioneering bold new treatments for depression and other psychiatric diseases. By sending pulses of light into the brain, Deisseroth can control neural activity with remarkable precision. In this short talk, Deisseroth gives an thoughtful and awe-inspiring overview of his Stanford University lab's groundbreaking research in "optogenetics".

  • Either airgear is a novice troll, or (s)he sadly only has the capacity to look at the moving picture on the screen and read the title and formulate an opinion worthy of a retarded paranoid schizophrenic... I'm going with the first option.
