Optogenetics is a technique that enables scientists to control the brain. It is done by controlling the signaling of individual neurons. It uses light to modulate molecular events in a targeted and narrowed down manner in living cells or organisms. It depends on the practice of genetically-encoded proteins that change shape under the presence of light in order to alter cell behavior. The technique combines methods from genetics and optics to monitor neurons.

Optogenetics is a technique to control well defined cell events in living tissues. In optogenetics, cells are controlled with the combination of genetics and optics. For this, the cells are first genetically engineered and modified by expressing a light sensitive opsin, such as, G protein-coupled receptor, pump, or ion channel.
Light of correct frequency is illuminated on genetically engineered cells to make them undergo conformational changes, such as, silencing or neural activation ... Read more
