Vibrational spectroscopy of cation and anion channelrhodopsins
… of specific microbial rhodopsins. Cation channelrhodopsins (CCRs) and anion channelrhodopsins (ACRs) have been demonstrated to activate and silence cell activity, respectively. In this dissertation, the molecular mechanisms of two channelrhodopsins are studied: a CCR from Chlamydomonas …

Homology Cloning, Heterologous Expression and Characterization of A New Channelrhodopsin
<p>Channelrhodopsins are phototaxis receptors in the plasma membranes of motile unicellular algae. They function as light-gated cation channels and this channel activity has been exploited to trigger action potentials in neurons with light to control neural circuits (“optogenetics"). Four …

Independent two-color optogenetic excitation of neural populations
The optical modulation of neurons with channelrhodopsins, a class of genetically encoded light-gated ion channels, has enabled the spatiotemporally precise interrogation of the roles individual cell types play in neural circuit dynamics. A topic of great interest to the neuroscience community is …
