Recent advances in optogenetics have permitted investigations of specific cell types in the
nervous system with unprecedented precision and control. This review will discuss the use …

Optogenetics has revolutionized neuroscience over the past several years by allowing
researchers to modulate the activity of specific cell types, both in vitro and in vivo. One …

Optogenetics has become an indispensable tool for investigating brain functions. Although
non-human primates are particularly useful models for understanding the functions and …

Recent advances combining two-photon calcium imaging and two-photon optogenetics with
computer-generated holography now allow us to read and write the activity of large …

Optogenetic techniques enable precise excitation and inhibition of firing in specified
neuronal populations and artifact-free recording of firing activity. Several studies have …

Optogenetics allows for optical manipulation of neuronal activity and has been increasingly
combined with intracellular and extracellular electrophysiological recordings. Genetically …

Optical imaging approaches have revolutionized our ability to monitor neural network
dynamics, but by themselves are unable to link a neuron's activity to its functional …

Over the last 10 years, optogenetics has become widespread in neuroscience for the study
of how specific cell types contribute to brain functions and brain disorder states. The full …

Many neural disorders are associated with aberrant activity in specific cell types or neural
projection pathways embedded within the densely-wired, heterogeneous matter of the brain …

Optogenetics is a technique for controlling subpopulations of neurons in the intact brain
using light. This technique has the potential to enhance basic systems neuroscience …
