Ed Boyden muestra cómo, mediante la inserción de genes de proteínas fotosensibles en células cerebrales, puede activar o desactivar selectivamente neuronas específicas con implantes de fibra óptica. Con este nivel de control sin precedentes ha logrado curar ratones con trastornos similares al estrés postraumático y ciertas formas de ceguera. En el horizonte: prótesis neuronales. El moderador de segmento Juan Enríquez hace un mini-debate al final.

At the MIT Media Lab, Ed Boyden leads the Synthetic Neurobiology Group, which invents technologies to reveal how cognition and emotion arise from brain networks -- and to enable systematic repair of disorders such as epilepsy and PTSD. Full bio »
