Independent optical excitation of distinct neural populations

Independent optical excitation of distinct neural populations

Optogenetic tools enable examination of how specific cell types contribute to brain circuit functions. A long-standing question is whether it is possible to independently activate two distinct neural populations in mammalian brain tissue. Such a capability would enable the study of how different syn...
