The visual system is an ideal window into the brain," says Dr. R. Clay Reid in the final lecture of this educational series. A solid optogenetics primer, Dr. Reid discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons. This full-length, undergraduate-level lecture is the final of a 12-part series entitled Coding & Vision 101, produced by the Allen Institute for Brain Science as an educational resource for the community.
