Viral Nobel Laureate Reveals Brain Code | Spotlight

Description: What if light could help us unlock the mysteries of the human brain? In this Firstpost POV interview with Josh Barnes, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Karl Deisseroth explains optogenetics, a breakthrough technique that uses light to switch specific brain cells on or off, helping researchers understand how the brain works. Drawing on light-sensitive proteins found in algae, the technique could open new avenues for treatments targeting conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and anxiety. Deisseroth also reflects on the moment he learnt he had won the Nobel Prize, the joy of sharing the news with his children, and why he wants to bring science closer to the public.
