摘要：
Aspects of the disclosure include compositions, devices, systems and methods for optogenetic modulation of action potentials in target cells. The subject devices include light-generating devices, control devices, and delivery devices for delivering light-responsive polypeptides, or nucleic acids encoding same, to target cells. The subject compositions and systems include light-activated polypeptides, nucleic acids comprising nucleotide sequences encoding these polypeptides, as well as expression systems that facilitate expression of these polypeptides in target cells. Also provided are methods of using the subject devices and systems to optogenetically manipulate action potentials in target cells, e.g., to treat a neurological or psychiatric condition in a human or animal subject.
