What is it that makes us conscious? How does the firing of neurons in one part of our brain make us feel aggressive, while others neurons make us hungry or anxious?
These are the questions that drove the discoveries behind the 2026 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. One of the new laureates, Karl Deisseroth, a professor in the schools of medicine and engineering at Stanford University, speaks to us this week about his pioneering research into optogenetics that led him to become a Nobel laureate.
