This week Jeff introduces us to three prerequisite concepts that will help make understanding biology and neuroscience at a deeper level much easier. Transcription, translation, and transgenic animal models are discussed before being connected to the idea of optogenetics: genetically modifying parts of the brain to react to light. This is part one of a two-part episode duo.
