Stabilized Step Function Opsins SSFO
Newly developed ChR2 variants which act to stabilize the conducting state of the channel to deactivate with a time constant of nearly 30 minutes following a brief pulse of activating blue light. They can be deactivated by yellow light (590nm). The stabilized open state of the channel allows for both lower power activation, meaning in some circumstances the light delivery system need not penetrate the brain, as well as for behavior in the absence of a tethered laser or other light delivery system.

SwiChR and iC1C2: Action potential inhibition with chloride-conducting channelrhodopsins
Step-Waveform Inhibitory ChannelRhodopsin (SwiChR) variant is activated by brief blue light stimulation at low intensities, remains open in the dark for an extended period of time and gets deactivated by red light. The engineered iC1C2 was designed based on the 2012 crystal structure of C1C2 to conduct chloride ions instead of cations, utilizing physiological chloride gradients to precisely inhibit action potentials in response to blue light.
