Journal ArticleDOI

Wirelessly powered, fully internal optogenetics for brain, spinal and peripheral circuits in mice

TL;DR: It is shown how three adaptations of the implant allow for untethered optogenetic control throughout the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve endings) of behaving mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virally mediated optogenetic excitation and inhibition of pain in freely moving nontransgenic mice.

TL;DR: An optogenetic strategy is used to bidirectionally control nociceptors of nontransgenic mice to enable rapid drug screening and testing of newly engineered opsins and have utility in basic and translational pain research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural foundations of optogenetics: Determinants of channelrhodopsin ion selectivity

TL;DR: The validation and further development of the channelrhodopsin pore model is reported via crystal structure-guided engineering of next-generation light-activated chloride channels and a bistable variant with net photocurrents increased more than 15-fold under physiological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optogenetic Control of Targeted Peripheral Axons in Freely Moving Animals

TL;DR: Methods to deliver opsins and light to targeted peripheral neurons and robust optogenetic modulation of motor neuron activity in freely moving, non-transgenic mammals are reported here.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond the brain: Optogenetic control in the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system

TL;DR: Challenges in using optogenetics to study the mammalian spinal cord and peripheral nervous system are discussed, common features that unite the work done thus far are synthesized, and a route forward for the successful application of optogenetic research to translational research beyond the brain is described.
