Related to the #NobelPrize in #Optogenetics: I'm reflecting on the question "who invented X?" in science. 10 years ago I wrote about the people who were working on optogenetics, the patent debates and the role of race and prestige. I don't know the answer, but...
Congratulations to the 2026 Nobel Prize recipients, Drs. Deisseroth, Hegemann & Nagel, for their work in optogenetics!

💡 🧪 What is #optogenetics?
Starting with the study of an alga, this field supplied a molecular tool for manipulating neurons in mammals, creating new ways to map the brain.

#NobelPrize/Medicine
This years Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded for the development of optogenetics. Pflügers Archiv published a special issue on the use of optogenetics in Physiology in 2023
link.springer.com/journal/424/...
#Optogenetics is a biological technique that uses light to precisely control the activity of specific living neurons genetically engineered to express light-sensitive ion channels (opsins).
“#Optogenetics has revolutionized how we study the brain. The technique lets researchers switch specific brain cells on or off with flashes of light, with unprecedented specificity and precise timing” says @iskrapollak.bsky.social, SciLifeLab Fellow and @stockholm-uni.bsky.social researcher.
