Multiple-color optical activation, silencing, and desynchronization of neural activity, with single-spike temporal resolution.

The quest to determine how precise neural activity patterns mediate computation, behavior, and pathology would be greatly aided by a set of tools for reliably activating and inactivating genetically targeted neurons, in a temporally precise and rapidly reversible fashion. Having earlier adapted a li...
