I wish I understood what the heck this meant, but I'm homeschooling my 7 and 4 year old and I have about 3 braincells left by this time of day. 🥴
Bless your heart. 🙏🏻❤️
The most commonly used ion channel for stimulation in optogenetics is Channelrhodopsin-2. Neurons are triggered in the same way (by moving ions from outside the cell to the inside). Once a certain number of positive ions have crossed the cell membrane, a threshold is reached which causes the neuron to fire.
Optogenetics enables manipulation of biological processes with light at high spatio-temporal resolution to control the behavior of cells, networks, or even whole animals.
There are mainly two types of NIR-activatable optogenetic tools: one uses lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles to transduce NIR light to visible light to modulate classical opsin-expressing neurons; the other type couples with an NIR absorber to convert NIR light to heat to activate thermosensitive proteins. These NIR-activatable optogenetic tools enable low-invasive "remote control" activation and inhibition of cellular signaling pathways.
