Optogenetic astrocyte activation modulates response selectivity of visual cortex neurons in vivo

Optogenetic astrocyte activation modulates response selectivity of visual cortex neurons in vivo

Astrocytes play important roles in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Despite in vitro evidence, their causal contribution to cortical network activity and sensory information processing in vivo remains unresolved. Here we report that selective photostimulation of astrocytes with channelrhodopsin...
