TITLE: Scientists win 2026 Nobel Prize for controlling brain cells with light

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261018205037.htm

A discovery in tiny algae led to a Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough that allows scientists to switch brain cells on and off using light. The revolutionary technique has already helped researchers activate memories and is opening new possibilities for restoring vision and treating brain disorders.

Yes! Anne Carson has long been one of my favorite writers. Might be time to break open the copy of Nox and finally read it. I've lost count of how many times I've gifted Autobiography of Red to friends.

"Some molecules, such as amino acids, exist as two variants that are each other’s mirror image. However, living organisms only contain one of these mirror images. How chemical asymmetry such as this could have emerged was long a mystery to chemists. Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 for discovering a solution to this puzzle."

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/10/05/nobel-prize-medicine-2026-winner-deisseroth-hegemann-nagel/?utm_campaign=rss

Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel are the joint recipients of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics, the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden announced on Monday. 

Deisseroth, a professor at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stanford University, Hegemann, a professor at Humboldt University in Berlin and Nagel, a professor at the University of Würzburg, Germany, developed a method that uses light, combined with genetic modifications of neurons, to switch on or off individual cells in a living brain. This makes it possible to show how nerve cells shape memories, feelings and behavior in the brain, and is being studied as a treatment for disease.
