Despite decades of research, it remains a major condition that significantly diminishes patients' quality of life. Advances in optogenetics have introduced a powerful tool for exploring the neural mechanisms underlying depression. By selectively expressing optogenes in specific cell types in mice, researchers can study the roles of these cells through targeted light stimulation, offering new insights into central nervous system disorders. The use of viral vectors to express opsins in distinct neuronal subtypes enables precise activation or inhibition of these neurons via light. When combined with behavioral, morphological, and electrophysiological analyses, optogenetics provides an invaluable approach to investigating the neural mechanisms of psychiatric conditions. This review synthesizes current research on the application of optogenetics to understand the mechanisms of depression.
