Today’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for discoveries that made optogenetics possible. A wonderful moment for a field I wrote about in Lightening Up the Brain. Basic science at its best.

Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann & Georg Nagel have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. 🧠
💡 Their work enables researchers to switch individual nerve cells on or off with light—transforming #neuroscience and how we understand the brain.
Every year I give a lecture to students on non-neuronal #optogenetics, focusing on protein manipulation to answer cell and developmental biology questions. I love the topic and did my PhD in it.
Peter Hegemann, one of the 2026 medicine laureates, cracked the biochemistry of how light can be used to regulate the activity of neurons. This research, using what is now called #optogenetics, has paved the way for others to create tools to track and map out neural networks.
Huge congratulations to this year's winners of the #NobelPrize in #Physiology or #Medicine! 🎉They are Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann & Georg Nagel, who were honoured for developing #optogenetics - techniques for controlling genes with light.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Karl @deisseroth.bsky.social , Peter Hegemann (@humboldtuni.bsky.social) und Georg Nagel ( @uni-wuerzburg.de ) zum #Nobelpreis! 🎉
"... for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and #optogenetics."
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for #optogenetics, a method that makes it possible to show how nerve cells shape memories, feelings and behaviours in the living brain 🧪 www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medic...
Watching light switch neurons on and off in real-time is mind-blowing. Optogenetics lets us rewrite neural circuits like code, bridging biology and robotics in ways we barely imagined possible. #optogenetics
Closing the week with three fantastic talks on #proteomics, #optogenetics, and molecular dynamics from Julian Langer, Alexander Gottschalk, and Gerhard Hummer (@MPI of Biophysics / Goethe Uni Frankfurt)!
