Optogenetics is a technique that uses genetic and optical tools to control the activities of living cells, particularly neurons, with light. This method allows for precise modulation of the electrical activities of specific cell groups. Optogenetics can be used not only to control nerve cells but also to control muscle cells. This process involves genetically modifying muscle cells to express light-sensitive proteins (e.g., channelrhodopsin-2 or halorhodopsin). Genes encoding light-sensitive proteins are introduced into muscle cells. This is typically done using viral vectors.
