A breakthrough was announced in April 2014 where
researchers were able to develop some genetic mutations of these ion channels, based on their analysis of the
molecular structure of the channelrhodopsin, which now gives them a reliable means of silencing the neurons
as well (Berndt et al. 2014). According to Science Daily, “The new structurally engineered channel at last gives
neuroscientists the tools to both activate and inactivate neurons in deep brain structures using dim pulses of
externally projected light” (Science Daily, 2014). Essentially scientists now have the power to activate or
deactivate neurons with the flick of a switch.

“The method allows one to wirelessly control the expression of genes in a living animal and could potentially be used for
conditions like hemophilia to control the production of a missing protein. Two key attributes are that the system is
genetically encoded and can activate cells remotely and quickly,” says Jeffrey Friedman, Marilyn M. Simpson Professor
head of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics at Rockefeller University. “We are now exploring whether the method can
also be used to control neural activity as a means for noninvasively modulating the activity of neural circuits. (Newswire

You don’t have to insert anything—no wires, no light systems—the genes are introduced through gene therapy. You could
have a wearable device that provides a magnetic field to certain parts of the body and it might be used therapeutically for
many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. It’s limitless at this point. (Newswire, 2014)
