@ki.seKI researchers comment on the #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine: “You can divide the history of neuroscience into a before and an after this discovery.” Karl Deisseroth was previously affiliated with KI and has generously shared his #optogenetics tools with others 🧪 news.ki.se/the-discover...
@thenerdyvenoms.bsky.socialJoin us for a LIVE recording of the #TNV #Podcast tonight, where we are discussing current #Geek #News, along w/ stupid #entertainment marketing tricks, #optogenetics, Nic Cage's smackdown on the #MCU, #reviews, and much more! So join us on Discord @ 9pm EST! #podcast http://discord.gg/sW...
@clearmindgroup.bsky.socialTake a look at optogenetics: with a helping hand from algae, we can examine how nerve cells shape memories.

@casi-borg.bsky.socialScientists can now use light to activate or silence selected neurons. 🧠💡
The Nobel-winning breakthrough is called optogenetics — and incredibly, its story began with tiny algae responding to sunlight.
@louisjeantetfdn.bsky.socialYesterday, the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Peter Hegemann, Georg Nagel and Karl Deisseroth.
Today, we are pleased to look back on the moment when Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel received the Louis-Jeantet Prize.

@casi-borg.bsky.socialLight can switch specific brain cells on and off — and the breakthrough just won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine. 🧠💡

@kshkarina.bsky.socialBesides most well-known opsin-based tools, #optogenetics comes in different flavors and can be used to target different cellular processes.
Here is one of my oldest but still favorite movies showing optogenetic nucleation of the ASC pyrin domain filaments:

@alishaib.bsky.socialthere probably isn’t a historically honest three-person solution to the #optogenetics #Nobel. Miesenböck came before; Hegemann discovered the ChR2 system; Nagel proved its electrophysiology; Deisseroth drove neuronal optogenetics; Boyden brought the key intellectual leap and famous 1 a.m. experiment

@abfbrain.bsky.socialCongrats to Drs. Deisseroth, Hegemann, and Nagel, who received the #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine today. Their neuroscience research established #optogenetics, which involves using light pulses to explore and map the circuitry in the brain. buff.ly/X8y4fFh
@johvierock.bsky.socialCongratulations @deisseroth.bsky.social, #Peter Hegemann and #Georg Nagel! This is an amazing day for #optogenetics and #opsin research. All day I am simply happy and full of good memories - and so gratefull as well!
@ahmarilab.bsky.socialI just noticed that the #optogenetics graphic from the @nobelprize.org announcement uses Swedish fish @deisseroth.bsky.social 😂
Very cute, Nobel committee 💗💗💗
