in englischer SpracheDie Optogenetik nützt lichtgesteuerte „Schalter“ in genetisch modifizierten Zellen, um etwa die elektrischen Impulse von Nervenzellen zu kontrollieren. Es lassen sich damit gewisse neurale Funktionen fernsteuern und hochkomplexe neurale Schaltkreise und Prozesse wie Gedanken, Wahrnehmungen oder Gefühle im Gehirn erkunden.
