Researchers have developed a way to use infrared light to flip diferent brain circuits on and off in mouse brains. It can control mice from 3 feet away.

A tiny wireless optogenetic device takes researchers one step closer to new treatments for chronic pain, depression, epilepsy, and more.

Optogenetic therapy has for the first time enabled a man who was completely blind to locate and identify objects while wearing specialized goggles.

A metabolite called colanic acid can extend the lifespan of worms as much as 50%. New research uses optogenetics to clarify that discovery.

Researchers have mapped the brain mechanisms that drive movement in grooming fruit flies. That could help fight Parkinson's disease and OCD.

A new feat in optogenetics used red and green light to raise and lower the speed of beating heart cells.

"Optogenomics" could one day offer the ability to manipulate our genomes, potentially upending treatment for cancer and other diseases.
