Light-emitting channelrhodopsins for combined optogenetic and chemical-genetic control of neurons.

Manipulation of neuronal activity through genetically targeted actuator molecules is a powerful approach for studying information flow in the brain. In these approaches the genetically targeted component, a receptor or a channel, is activated either by a small molecule (chemical genetics) or by ligh...
