Very happy to share our new manuscript on the photocycle of the highly sensitive, K⁺-selective channelrhodopsin #WiChR. Combining electrophysiology with K⁺ imaging & comp. modelling. Thanks Franzi for this fruitful cooperation—congrats to Sophia, Linda & team!

Four years ago, the red-light–activated channelrhodopsin #Chrimson restored basic vision in a blind patient. Here, we uncover its #multicolor_photoreactions and show implications for optogenetic applications. Many interesting details and a wonderful team🥳! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Amazing! Congratulation Zoe 💪🥳this great application of #BiPOLES and a really cool paper👍
(This is the part of the paper where I had to summarize many. many. many. years of work in 2 sentences):

PhaSER works best to shift the phase locking of interneurons when coupled with bidirectional manipulations (thank you, BiPOLES!!!) 👏 @simwieg.bsky.social @johvierock.bsky.social
