Noninvasive optical inhibition with a red-shifted microbial rhodopsin
2014
In this Technical Report, Chuong and colleagues introduce Jaws, an archaeon-derived, photoactivatable chloride pump that responds to red light. Owing to its efficiency in absorbing red photons and its large photocurrent, Jaws can be transcranially activated deep in the brain and thus allows noninvasive optogenetic silencing.
