Our favourite #Platynereis #opsin now in the mammalian brain as a new #optogenetic tool!
"Here we ... found that the Platynereis dumerilii ciliary opsin ... is an efficient, versatile, light-activated bistable GPCR that can suppress synaptic transmission in mammalian neurons with high temporal precision in-vivo "
