plans
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. 08:04, 12 May 2017‎ HelinaSaleh (talk)
 * 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)

 * I recommend starting the article with a clear description of the method. Currently it jumps straight into a comparison with optogenetics and applications, both of which will be easier to read with a bit more description of the method. T.Shafee(Evo &#38; Evo)talk 10:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * In particular, the first sentence (lead sentence) needs to be as clear and succinct as possible. I recommend checking how it is introduced in the published literature. T.Shafee(Evo &#38; Evo)talk 11:02, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
