Neurological disorders have been historically difficult to treat due to the intractable nature of the brain and nervous system. However, synthetic biology enables scientists to develop technologies and techniques for imaging and manipulating the brain to better characterize biological problems. 

In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, Ed Boyden and Jerzy Szablowski will talk about how synthetic biology can help researchers elucidate brain function and develop new tools for treating neurological disorders.
