Watch the recording now: Applying optogenetics to analyze neuronal networks in mental health
27 June, 2024
Applying optogenetic technology to map new circuits in the claustrum and prefrontal cortex to analyze neuronal networks of relevance to mental health
Missed our opnMe live online seminar on June 20, 2024? The recorded session is now available! Meet the winning team of our opn2EXPERTS call with the goal of finding innovative readouts to analyze the complex neuronal circuits in the brain. Learn about novel technologies in optogenetics to study the complex neuronal interconnectivity and its underlying biology in the claustrum and prefrontal cortex1. Watch the recording now and find out how this collaborative project between Boehringer Ingelheim and scientists from Temasek Life Sciences, Singapore, has paved the way for novel therapeutic approaches for people living with mental health conditions.

About opnMe:
opnMe.com, the open science portal of Boehringer Ingelheim, fosters science and collaboration initiatives in areas of high unmet medical need. Our molecules are provided to the scientific community either free of charge as “Molecules to Order” or applied via scientific research submissions as “Molecules for Collaboration”. With our “opn2EXPERTS” and “techMATCH” programs, we enlist scientific advice on key scientific topics to fuel further drug discovery and deliver novel solutions that benefit unmet patient needs. Our “opn2TALENTS” postdoc grants at one of our research sites awards opportunities for high-level talents by proposing their own innovative approaches for precisely defined scientific questions.
