This challenge requires deep penetration and focusing as provided by infrared light and multiphoton excitation,and has promoted two-photon photopharmacology and optogenetics. However, three-photon brain stimulation in vivoremains to be demonstrated. We report the regulation of neuronal activity in zebrafish larvae by three-photon excitation of a photoswitchable muscarinic agonist at 50 pM, a billion-fold lower concentration than used for uncaging, and with mid-infrared light of 1560 nm, the longest reported photoswitch wavelength. Robust, physiologically relevant photoresponses allow modulating brain activity in wild-type animals with spatiotemporal and pharmacological precision. Computational calculations predict that azobenzene-based ligands have high three-photon absorption cross-section and can be used directly with pulsed infrared light. The expansion of three-photon pharmacology will deeply impact basic neurobiology and neuromodulation phototherapies.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" src=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1-1024x659.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1-1024x659.png 1024w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1-768x494.png 768w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1-1536x988.png 1536w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1-1200x772.png 1200w, https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/355\/2023\/10\/2023_angewandte-1.png 1570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three-Photon Infrared Stimulation of Endogenous Neuroreceptors in Vivo Rosalba Sortino, Marina Cunquero, Gustavo Castro-Olvera, Ricard Gelabert, Miquel Moreno, Fabio Riefolo, Carlo Matera, No\u00e8lia Fern\u00e0ndez-Castillo, Luca Agnetta, Michael Decker, Jos\u00e9 Maria Lluch, Jordi Hernando, Pablo Loza-Alvarez, Pau Gorostiza To interrogate neural circuits and crack their codes, in vivobrain activity imaging must be combined with spatiotemporally precise [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2580,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66,67,68,69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles-en","category-azobenzene","category-photoswitches","category-spectrum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2580"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2334"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2337,"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334\/revisions\/2337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webs.uab.cat\/molbiomed\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
