00:00Three scientists have won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for developing optogenetics,
00:04a technique that uses light to control neurons with precision.
00:08American Karl Deisseroth and two German researchers created this method
00:12to switch brain cells on and off and observe their activity in real time.
00:16This breakthrough advances brain research
00:18by allowing scientists to study neural circuits more directly than before.
00:23Dr. Heather Berlin, a psychiatry and neuroscience expert,
00:26says their discovery opens new doors for understanding brain circuits.
00:31The prize recognizes the significance of their work in advancing brain science.
00:35Their findings not only deepen our knowledge of brain function,
00:38but also hold promise for developing new treatments for neurological disorders.
