A Roadmap to Applying Optogenetics in Neuroscience

2014

Optogenetics allows for the specific manipulation of the activity of genetically defined cell populations in the CNS. Yet, it requires effective gene delivery, light stimulation, and readout strategies. Here, we provide a roadmap aimed at guiding the experimenter in the process of establishing an optogenetic approach tailored to a given research hypothesis in the field of neuroscience.
