    Molecular engineering allows stoichiometric and co-localized expression of two optogenetic actuators, spaced by a fluorescent protein and an additional transmembrane helix in a single protein fusion. The method provides modular optogenetic tools for bidirectional membrane potential control or synergistic effects on neuronal activity.
