Transfer of optogenetic vectors into the brain of neonatal animals to study neuron functions during subsequent periods of development

Optogenetics, that is, the control of cell activity using light-sensitive ion channels opsins with light of a specific wavelength, is increasingly being used to study activities and functions of neurons. Expression of opsins in the cell membrane, followed by the acquisition by the cell of the sensit...
