In this technical report, the authors describe a new, red-shifted variant of channelrhodopsin (called red-activatable channelrhodopsin or ReaChR) that shows faster kinetics and greater photocurrents than currently available red-shifted probes. In addition, they show that ReaChR can be activated in awake mice through the intact skull.
