Computational modeling of channelrhodopsin-2 photocurrent characteristics in relation to neural signaling.

Abstract excerpt

Channelrhodopsins-2 (ChR2) are a class of light sensitive proteins that offer the ability to use light stimulation to regulate neural activity with millisecond precision. In order to address the limitations in the efficacy of the wild-type ChR2 (ChRwt) to achieve this objective, new variants of ChR2 that exhibit fast mon-exponential photocurrent decay characteristics have been recently developed and validated. In...
