The genetic insertion of molecules into specific neurons that allows the activity of the neurons to be controlled by light is called ________.
A) optogenetics
B) epigenetics
C) dialectical genome manipulation
D) MEG

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic insertion of molecules into specific neurons that allows the activity of the neurons to be controlled by light is a technique called optogenetics. Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. Dialectical genome manipulation and MEG (magnetoencephalography) are not related to optogenetics.
