What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the Nobel medicine prize and identify Karl Deisseroth in the coverage, while the AP also names Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel and says the work led to a tool using light to help unravel how the brain works. Reuters instead foregrounds Deisseroth alone and adds that his research has helped scientists pinpoint brain cells involved in disorders like depression and Alzheimer’s, a detail not mentioned in the AP extract.
