Photochemical gating of heterologous ion channels: remote control over genetically designated populations of neurons.
Heterologous proteins capable of transducing physical or chemical stimuli into electrical signals can be used to control the function of excitable cells in intact tissues or organisms. Restricted genetically to circumscribed populations of cellular targets, these selectively addressable sources of d...
