Abstract

In recent years, the development of an on-demand treatment for epilepsy has been promoted using chemogenetics, by which neural activity of a target neuronal population is manipulated by systemic drug delivery. This paper outlines the mechanism of chemogenetic manipulation of neural activity, describes recent studies that have confirmed the efficacy of this technique in macaque monkeys, and discusses future developments toward clinical application of this technique.
