Light switch for neural circuits
The experimental use of microbial opsins — light-sensitive ion channels — has ushered in a revolution in neuroscience, as they make it possible to modulate the activity of genetically targeted neurons in response to exogenous light. Now, Ed Boyden and colleagues have screened archaebacteria, bacteria, plants and...
