Optogenetic restoration of high sensitivity vision with bReaChES, a red-shifted channelrhodopsin

Abstract The common final pathway to blindness in many forms of retinal degeneration is the death of the light-sensitive primary retinal neurons. However, the normally light-insensitive second- and third-order neurons persist optogenetic gene therapy aims to restore sight by rendering such neurons l...
