Bringing Optogenetics to the Synapse [PDF]
Neuron, 2013 In this issue of Neuron, Lin et al. (2013) describe InSynC, an optogenetic approach that utilizes chromophore-assisted light inactivation (CALI) to inactivate presynaptic neurotransmitter release proteins VAMP2 and synaptophysin. InSynC selectively reduces synaptic transmission in illuminated regions in vitro and in vivo.

Optogenetically Induced Spatiotemporal Gamma Oscillations in Visual Cortex [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 It has been hypothesized that Gamma cortical oscillations play important roles in numerous cognitive processes and may involve psychiatric conditions including anxiety, schizophrenia, and autism. Gamma rhythms are commonly observed in many brain regions during both waking and sleep states, yet their functions and mechanisms remain a matter of debate ...

The Dawning of Primate Optogenetics [PDF]
Neuron, 2009 In this issue of Neuron, Han and colleagues bring optogenetic methods into use in nonhuman primates by demonstrating the feasibility of achieving cell-type-specific photoactivation of macaque neocortical neurons. The use of optogenetic approaches in nonhuman primates promises to revolutionize our understanding of the neural circuitry that mediates ...
