I am planning to make some changes and update the info on the Chemogenetics Page and I would kindly appreciate your feed back . I have written the preliminary outline below. Thank you .
Chemogenetics
* Indicate the difference between optogenetics and chemogenetics ( i.e., Having more spatiotemporal control . ) Explain how the spatiotemporal control is achieved .
* Explain more about the process of designing DREADDs and retro DREADDS.
Benefits :
*Pharmacology and treating different diseases : link the information to the diseases page . The targeted diseases in chemogenetics currently consist of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinsons disease and neuropsychological disorders such as addiction and anxiety, depression and Schizophrenia.
*The advancement of chemogenetics in pain management . ( add osteoarthritis associated pain to the diseases under investigation in this field. )
Animal Models :
* Advancement and limits : explain non primate models used such as rodent models. Discuss the advancement s and limitation of using non human primate models.
Future Direction :
* discuss the future directions considered in the literature and how chemogenetics can be incorporated to treat different disorders. HelinaSaleh (talk) 21:24, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
