    Non-visual light modulates behavioral memory and gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Zhijian Ji, Bingying Wang ... Dengke K Ma
    Visible light engages a non-visual, bZIP-dependent transcriptional pathway in peripheral tissues that communicates with the nervous system to shape behavioral plasticity and memory, enabling optogenetic-like gene control without photoreceptors.
