@annaintegrated.bsky.socialRelated 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...
@genesdev.bsky.socialCongratulations to the 2026 Nobel Prize recipients, Drs. Deisseroth, Hegemann & Nagel, for their work in optogenetics!

@optica.org💡 🧪 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.

@pflugers-archiv.bsky.socialThis 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

@knowledgezone.bsky.social#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).
@scilifelab.se“#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.
