Using photons as neurotransmitters to control the activity of neurons

A team of ICFO researchers develops a system that connects two neurons of a roundworm using photons, instead of chemicals, as neurotransmitters. The method uses light-emitting enzymes and light-sensitive ion channels. Using light as a messenger has a wide potential for both basic research and clinical applications in neuroscience, for example in developing new therapies and treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
