Optogenetic patterning of whisker-barrel cortical system in transgenic rat expressing channelrhodopsin-2.

The rodent whisker-barrel system has been an ideal model for studying somatosensory representations in the cortex. However, it remains a challenge to experimentally stimulate whiskers with a given pattern under spatiotemporal precision. Recently the optogenetic manipulation of neuronal activity has...
