Independent optical excitation of distinct neural populations
2014
Sequencing the transcriptomes of more than 100 species of alga yields new channelrhodopsins with promising properties for optogenetics. A far red–shifted channelrhodopsin, Chrimson, opens up new behavioral capabilities in Drosophila, and alongside a fast yet light-sensitive blue channelrhodopsin, Chronos, enables independent excitation of two neuronal populations in brain slices.
