Cell-type Specific Optogenetic Mice for Dissecting Neural Circuitry Function
Optogenetic methods have emerged as powerful tools for dissecting neural circuit connectivity, function and dysfunction. We used a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic strategy to express the H134R variant of channelrhodopsin-2, ChR2(H134R), under the control of cell type–specific promoter elements. We performed an extensive functional characterization of the newly established VGAT-...
متن کاملControl strategies for underactuated neural ensembles driven by optogenetic stimulation
Motivated by experiments employing optogenetic stimulation of cortical regions, we consider spike control strategies for ensembles of uncoupled integrate and fire neurons with a common conductance input. We construct strategies for control of spike patterns, that is, multineuron trains of action potentials, up to some maximal spike rate determined by the neural biophysics. We emphasize a constr...
متن کاملNeural Circuitry of Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Many data now indicate that the amygdala, along with its many efferent connections, is critically involved in emotion. Although the amygdala complex is generally defined by several distinct groups of cells, including the lateral, basal, accessory basal central, medial, and cortical nuclei, new data indicate that it is more useful to think of the amygdala as the basolateral amygdala (Bla) and to...
متن کاملOptogenetic dissection of medial prefrontal cortex circuitry
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is critically involved in numerous cognitive functions, including attention, inhibitory control, habit formation, working memory and long-term memory. Moreover, through its dense interconnectivity with subcortical regions (e.g., thalamus, striatum, amygdala and hippocampus), the mPFC is thought to exert top-down executive control over the processing of aversi...
متن کاملNeural circuitry engaged during unsuccessful motor inhibition in pediatric bipolar disorder.
OBJECTIVE Deficits in motor inhibition may contribute to impulsivity and irritability in children with bipolar disorder. Studies of the neural circuitry engaged during failed motor inhibition in pediatric bipolar disorder may increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of the illness. The authors tested the hypothesis that children with bipolar disorder and comparison subjects would diffe...
