Recent decades have been characteristics by the rapid development of optical methods in neurobiology. Historically, the first optical methods of recording neuron activity were those using potential-dependent dyes with recording of the overall activity of small areas of the brain exploiting intrinsic optical signals. With the development of genetic technologies, optogenetics appeared, allowing not only neuron activity to be recorded optically but also cell operation to be controlled using photostimulation. The wide use of optogenetics in neurobiological research has filled a significant gap in approaches to studies of brain function in the last decade. Active attempts are now being made to use optogenetic approaches in the treatment of epilepsy and a series of neurodegenerative diseases in clinical practice.
