.@KarlDeisseroth listens to patients living with severe depression and asks what in the brain could account for their suffering.

His work in optogenetics gave scientists a way to control nerve cells with light, opening new possibilities for understanding the minds he treats.

A remarkable writer and a devoted physician. Today, a @NobelPrize laureate.

Congratulations, Karl.
