Abstract
Optogenetics is revolutionizing cell biology and neuroscience research by allowing precise biochemical control of neuronal activity through light-activated channels. Light-induced ion transporters have been used extensively for cellular activation, and now light-gated inhibitory channels have been discovered. These represent a key new tool to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
