Photoreceptor and optogenetics research
Photoreceptor and optogenetics research is a research topic within Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 62k research works in it since 1950. 9.8% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the application of optogenetics in neuroscience and biophysics research, particularly the use of microbial rhodopsins such as Channelrhodopsin for precise control and manipulation of neural activity. It covers topics such as neural stimulation, photocycle dynamics, and in vivo control of neural circuitry using light-sensitive proteins. The research also explores the molecular mechanisms and biophysical principles underlying optogenetic tools.
