The 2013 Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Prize was awarded to Ernst Bamberg, Edward Boyden, Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, Gero Miesenböck, and Georg Nagel 'for their invention and refinement of optogenetics'. Why optogenetics? And why this sextet? To appreciate why, we turn first to some of the core questions of neuroscience and the technical difficulties that long obstructed their resolution.
2013 年格特·伦德贝克欧洲脑研究奖授予恩斯特·巴姆伯格、爱德华·博伊登、卡尔·戴瑟罗斯、彼得·黑格曼、热罗·米森伯克和乔治·内格尔，“因其对光遗传学的发明和改进”。为什么是光遗传学？为什么是这六个人？为了理解其中原因，我们首先要探讨一些神经科学的核心问题，以及长期以来阻碍这些问题解决的技术难题。
