Specific expression of channelrhodopsin-2 in single neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Specific expression of channelrhodopsin-2 in single neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Optogenetic approaches using light-activated proteins like Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) enable investigating the function of populations of neurons in live Caenorhabditis elegans (and other) animals, as ChR2 expression can be targeted to these cells using specific promoters. Sub-populations of these ne...
