Summary
Optogenetics has evolved to be a critical technique used to manipulate the firing activity of specific subsets of neurons. Through the use of specific firing parameters, it has become possible to control the behavior of freely moving animals. Here we have established a system to control projection pathway-specific neurons from a particular brain region through the combined use of a Cre-dependent ChR2 and a transceullar, retrograde, Cre virus.Further details
