Potassium-selective channelrhodopsins can exert hyper- or depolarizing effects in excitable cells of Caenorhabditis elegans, depending on experimental conditions
{{output}}
Among the most frequent applications of optogenetic tools are those for depolarization of excitable cells such as neurons and muscles. Equally important are inhibitory tools that act through cellular hyperpolarization, which often rely on chloride conductance.... ...
