Targeted optogenetic stimulations

Description

Howe's Lab developed a new micro-fiber array approach capable of chronically measuring and optogenetically manipulating local dynamics across over 100 targeted locations simultaneously in head-fixed and freely moving mice, enabling investigation of cell-type and neurotransmitter-specific signals over arbitrary 3-D volumes. This protocol includes the steps for targeted optogenetic manipulation. Please contact us ([email protected]) if you are interested in using this technique.
