“To expand the repertoire of endogenous cellular communication, we developed a synthetic, photon-assisted synaptic transmission (PhAST) system. PhAST is based on luciferases and channelrhodopsins that enable the transmission of a neuronal state across space, using photons as neurotransmitters.”

What a fun project and cool finding, and made in #Catalunya to top it off at the Photonic Science Institute.

Combine that with #photopharmacology and neural circuits may be able to dose themselves according to activity patterns.
