Optogenetic Mapping of Cerebellar Inhibitory Circuitry Reveals Spatially Biased Coordination of Interneurons via Electrical Synapses

We used high-speed optogenetic mapping technology to examine the spatial organization of local inhibitory circuits formed by cerebellar interneurons. Transgenic mice expressing channelrhodopsin-2 exclusively in molecular layer interneurons allowed us to focally photostimulate these neurons, while me...
