Three Scientists Win Nobel Prize in Medicine for Optogenetics
Original: 3 Scientists Share Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for Optogenetics
Three scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control activity in specific cells, notably neurons. The method has transformed brain research by allowing precise manipulation of neural circuits in living tissue, with broad implications for studying and potentially treating neurological conditions.
Why now: The announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is a major annual science news event.
