ARThe 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to three researchers who pioneered optogenetics, a groundbreaking technique that uses light to control neurons. The winners were German scientists Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, along with American scientist Karl Deisseroth. Their work began with studying how algae respond to light and led to the development of tools that allow scientists to activate or inhibit specific brain cells. This has revolutionized neuroscience research, particularly in understanding neurological and psychiatric disorders. The announcement was made by Thomas Perlmann, head of the Nobel Committee, during a press conference accessible online. The prize includes $1.2 million to be shared among the three laureates.
