Genetically encoded molecular tools for light-driven silencing of targeted neurons [Chapter 3]

The ability to silence, in a temporally precise fashion, the electrical activity of specific neurons embedded within intact brain tissue, is important for understanding the role that those neurons play in behaviors, brain disorders, and neural computations. "Optogenetic" silencers, genetic...
