FEF inactivation with improved optogenetic methods.
Optogenetic methods have been highly effective for suppressing neural activity and modulating behavior in rodents, but effects have been much smaller in primates, which have much larger brains. Here, we present a suite of technologies to use optogenetics effectively in primates and apply these tools to a classic question in oculomotor control. First, we measured light absorption and heat propag...
متن کاملOptogenetic Inactivation Modifies Monkey Visuomotor Behavior
A critical technique for understanding how neuronal activity contributes to behavior is determining whether perturbing it changes behavior. The advent of optogenetic techniques allows the immediately reversible alteration of neuronal activity in contrast to chemical approaches lasting minutes to hours. Modification of behavior using optogenetics has had substantial success in rodents but has no...
متن کاملOptogenetic Inhibition of Synaptic Release with Chromophore-Assisted Light Inactivation (CALI)
Optogenetic techniques provide effective ways of manipulating the functions of selected neurons with light. In the current study, we engineered an optogenetic technique that directly inhibits neurotransmitter release. We used a genetically encoded singlet oxygen generator, miniSOG, to conduct chromophore assisted light inactivation (CALI) of synaptic proteins. Fusions of miniSOG to VAMP2 and sy...
متن کامل1-A-1 Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation of FEF on neurophysiological activity in contralateral FEF
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows non-invasive perturbation of neural activity, induced by a rapidly changing magnetic field. Both single pulse and repetitive TMS (rTMS) have been shown to modulate behavioural output. Despite being considered an important methodology in cognitive neuroscience and as a potential treatment for neurological disorders, a precise understanding of the ef...
