Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor enhances survival of GM-CSF dependent rat GMIR1-microglial cells.

abstract：:Recent advances in our understanding of brain function have come from using light to either control or image neuronal activity. Here we describe an approach that combines both techniques: a micromirror array is used to photostimulate populations of presynaptic neurons expressing channelrhodopsin-2, while a red-shifted...
