Gero Miesenboeck is pioneering the field of optogenetics: genetically modifying nerve cells to respond to light. By flashing light at a modified neuron in a living nervous system Miesenboeck and his collaborators can mimic a brain impulse -- and then study what happens next.

Optogenetics will allow ever more precise experiments on living brains allowing us to gather better evidence on how electrical impulses on tissue translate into actual behavior and thoughts.In one experiment done at Yale he and his team engineered fruit flies to be light-sensitive in the neural area responsible for escape response.
