A light-gated, potassium-selective glutamate receptor for the optical inhibition of neuronal firing

Genetically targeted light-activated ion channels and pumps make it possible to determine the role of specific neurons in neuronal circuits, information processing and behavior. Here, we describe the development of a K(+)-selective ionotropic glutamate receptor that reversibly inhibits neuronal acti...
