Channelrhodopsin is a light-sensitive protein found in certain microorganisms that can be used to control neuronal activity through optogenetics. By responding to specific wavelengths of light, channelrhodopsins allow researchers to activate or inhibit neurons with precision, facilitating the study of neural circuits and behaviors.
congrats on reading the definition of channelrhodopsin. now let's actually learn it.
