  • Artificial expression constructs for selectively modulating gene expression in inhibitory neocortical neurons
    Patent number: 12692515
    Abstract: Artificial expression constructs for selectively modulating gene expression in selected central nervous system cell types are described. The artificial expression constructs can be used to selectively express synthetic genes or modify gene expression in inhibitory neocortical GABAergic neurons including somatostatin GABAergic neurons, parvalbumin GABAergic neurons, vasointestinal peptide GABAergic neurons, Lamp5 GABAergic neurons, and in some instances astrocytes.
