Optical manipulation of local cerebral blood flow in the deep brain of freely moving mice

Summary: An artificial tool for manipulating local cerebral blood flow (CBF) is necessary for understanding how CBF controls brain function. Here, we generate vascular optogenetic tools whereby smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells express optical actuators in the brain. The illumination of chan...
