Rapid optical control of nociception with an ion channel photoswitch

Local anesthetics are effective in suppressing pain sensation, but most of these compounds act non-selectively, inhibiting the activity of all neurons. Moreover, their actions abate slowly, preventing precise spatial and temporal control of nociception. We have developed a photoisomerizable molecule...
