SCI & TECHOct 5Nobel Prize in Medicine for breakthrough in brain researchDe Nobelprijs voor Geneeskunde gaat dit jaar naar de Amerikaan Karl Deisseroth en de Duitsers Peter Hegemann en Georg Nagel. De neurowetenschappers winnen de prijs voor hun ontdekkingen op het gebied van de optogenetica. Optogenetica is een geavanceerde techniek waarmee neurowetenschappers zenuwcellen met licht kunnen aan- en uitzetten. Zo kunnen ze onderzoeken hoe de hersenen werken en hoe zenuwcellen betrokken zijn bij het opslaan van herinneringen, gevoelens en gedrag. De methode kan ook helpen bij onderzoek naar behandelingen voor aandoeningen zoals parkinson, depressie, verslaving en angsNOS Buitenland
