@ScienceAdvances NEUROPA is embarked on a similar effort to deliver improved therapies, particularly for Parkinson’s disease, using phytopogenetics. Details available neuropaproject.com

According to a new study in mice, scientists have identified key sensorimotor circuits restored after a #stroke by optogenetic stimulation—a technique that uses light to control genetically modified #neurons. fcld.ly/66t98ja

BAW @dana_fdn & NEUROPA - a new era for brain therapy. Showcasing achievements from the photonics team @AstonUniversity. 2P laser conversion of bacterial phytochrome with 50fs laser pulse width, rep rate of 1kHz, optical power 5-50mW at 1199nm-1250 nm. neuropaproject.com

It’s Brain Awareness Week (March 15th to 21st) 2021 and NEUROPA will be contributing - we’ll be showcasing activities in laser optimisation of phytochrome switching, AAV development and investigations into different AAV administration routes to the brain.

What do you hope to get from the project? The inter-disciplinarity exposure is a great opportunity. The project covers bio-chemistry, laser physics, optogentics, gene editing of viral vectors, imaging and neuroscience. 4/4

Young Researcher Profiles from the NEUROPA project in which we ask them a series of questions about their involvement. This one features Laia Sitja Roqueta of the University of Barcelona. 1/4

What aspect of the project is most exciting? Invasive technology is well known for treating neuro-degenerative disorders but non-invasive neuro-stimulation would be a great achievement. 3/4

What is your role in NEUROPA? I am focused upon NEUROPA-stimulation and imaging of phytochrome-activated networks in living animals. We aim to enable the modulation of specific genes in Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s. 2/4

NEUROPA Researcher - Diana Galiakhmetova of Aston University youtu.be/DbS-RvjLhyg via @YouTube explains how the project gives her an opportunity to work for the first time on human health applications of lasers. @NeuropaP is developing a non-invasive means of brain therapy.

Welcome to NEUROPA. We’ll bring you news of events and conferences in which we are participating in 2021. We hope the year ahead will give us plenty of opportunities to showcase ground-breaking developments in non-invasive therapies for common brain disorders. #neuroscience
