Before the discovery of optogenetics, it was not possible to control electrical activity in specific populations of neurons with millisecond precision – and therefore it was not possible to manipulate the correlation in electrical activity between connected neurons to test the predictions of the Hebbian hypothesis and determine the effect of these manipulations on actual memory formation and the underlying changes in the neural connections. We took advantage of the optogenetic approach, and used it in combination with behavioural and physiological techniques to overcome the technical limitations in testing the Hebbian hypothesis. #MindScience #BrainScience #ScienceOfLife #OrganicTechEra #MindComputerInterface #MindRealityInterface #Consciousness #MindHack
