Starting from studies of algae that are attracted to light, these and many other researchers built entire field of study that we now call #optogenetics: using light to alter the behavior of nerve cells marked by the activity of individual #genes.

The 2026 Nobel Prize was announced today and it’s a genetics thing. Yay, Mind controlled mice. The Nobel committees announced the year’s first winners on Monday, awarding the prize for physiology or medicine to a trio of scientists who the committees said have “laid the foundation of a new era in neuroscience.”
Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, & Georg Nagel were awarded the Nobel Prize in #physiology or #medicine for their pioneering discoveries in optogenetics, a method that uses light to determine how cells operate in the brain or even to exert control over those processes.
Optogenetics provides opportunities for mapping the brain.
That’s how light went from being simply something we see to becoming a tool for manipulating neural circuits. So, scientists can essentially use light as a remote ON/OFF switch for selected neurons to observe what happens to behavior or brain function.

The Nobel medicine prize was awarded Monday to US psychiatrist and neurologist Karl Deisseroth and German scientists Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their pioneering work in the neuroscience field of optogenetics. In optogenetics, scientists control neurones by stimulating them with light -- potentially unlocking breakthroughs for conditions such as dementia, depression and blindness. FRANCE 24's Monte Francis reports.

The new field of optogenetics won the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. Very cool technique to switch genes on and off with light. I recall I began writing about it sometime around 2004 and had a bunch of conversations with one of its inventors, Karl Deisseroth - now a Nobel winner.
I miss my career sometimes but I don't really miss the 5 am October wake-ups to do Nobel Prize stories.
