Abstract:
:A genetic analysis of mammalian neuronal physiology might now be possible due to the development of defective herpes simplex virus vectors, which allow gene transfer directly into mature neurons, in culture or in the adult brain. Genetically altered proteins that play critical roles in neuronal physiology, including those responsible for the generation of action potentials, synthesis and release of neurotransmitters, and signal transduction enzymes, can now be stably expressed in neurons. The effect of such altered proteins on neuronal physiology can therefore be examined, using the tools of modern neuroscience. Genetic manipulation is biochemically specific and stable, and can be targeted both to a particular cell type and to a particular subregion of the cell to yield insights into the molecular basis for specific brain functions.
