Demonstrates bioluminescent control of neural dynamics in biological systems, suggesting enhanced cellular control.
fluctuations via locally generated bioluminescence control neural dynamics through opsin activation in single cells, populations and intact tissue. BLADe can be expanded to couple any signal that bioluminescent enzymes can be engineered to detect with the wide variety of photosensing actuators. This modular strategy of coupling an activity dependent light emitter to a light sensing actuator offers, in principle, a generalizable framework for state dependent cell-autonomous control across biological systems.
