Advances in optogenetics and microscopy enable recording and manipulation of activity from specific cell populations with better contrast and resolution, at higher speeds, and deeper into live tissues.
There are hurdles to overcome before applying novel optical tools in neurogastroenterology and motility.
Recent developments in microscope technology and in synthetic and genetically encoded fluorescent probes are relevant to investigating cellular activity in the intestinal wall.
