Using Light to Explore the Infinite Possibilities of the Brain
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes three scientists for their groundbreaking contributions to optogenetics.
Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel investigated and characterized light-sensitive proteins found in algae.
Karl Deisseroth helped transform these discoveries into a powerful technique for controlling neuronal activity with light.
Optogenetics enables researchers to investigate neural circuits with unprecedented precision, advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying memory, emotion, and behavior.
✨ From microscopic algae to the complexity of the human brain, scientific discovery continues to illuminate new possibilities.
