埃德博伊登顯示如何通過插入基因的光敏感蛋白進入腦細胞，他可以選擇性地激活或取消激活特定神經元的光纖植入物。有了這個前所未有的水平控制，他成功地治愈創傷後應激障礙小鼠類似物和某些形式的盲目性。在地平線上：神經修復術。會議的東道國胡安Enriquez的領導一個簡短的後談問答
Ed Boyden shows how, by inserting genes for light-sensitive proteins into brain cells, he can selectively activate or de-activate specific neurons with fiber-optic implants. With this unprecedented level of control, he's managed to cure mice of analogs of PTSD and certain forms of blindness. On the horizon: neural prosthetics. Session host Juan Enriquez leads a brief post-talk Q&A.
