Optogenetically enhanced axon regeneration: motor versus sensory neuron-specific stimulation.
MouseOtherChannelrhodopsin (ChR2) transgenic linesMale and femaleOptical (light) stimulation of the nerveAcute, combined with transection and repair of the sciatic nerve
Model: Sciatic nerve transection and repair
System-specific optical treatment increased the number of regenerating ChR2-positive motor and sensory neurons with no effect on ChR2-negative neurons.
