| Abstract |
Optogenetics is rapidly gaining acceptance as a preferred method to study specific neuronal cell types using light. Optogenetic neuromodulation requires the introduction of a cell-specific viral vector encoding for a light activating ion channel or ion pump and the utilization of a system to deliver light stimulation to brain. Here, we describe a two-part methodology starting with a procedure to inject an optogenetic AAV virus into rat cortex followed by a second procedure to surgically implant an optical cannula for light delivery to the deeper cortical layers. |
