In this issue of Neuron, Lin et al. (2013) describe InSynC, an optogenetic approach that utilizes chromophore-assisted light inactivation (CALI) to inactivate presynaptic neurotransmitter release proteins VAMP2 and synaptophysin. InSynC selectively reduces synaptic transmission in illuminated regions in vitro and in vivo.
