Neocortical excitation/inhibition balance in information processing and social

TL;DR: Elevation, but not reduction, of cellular E/I balance within the mouse medial prefrontal cortex was found to elicit a profound impairment in cellular information processing, associated with specific behavioural impairments and increased high-frequency power in the 30–80 Hz range, which have both been observed in clinical conditions in humans.

Red-shifted optogenetic excitation: a tool for fast neural control derived from Volvox carteri

TL;DR: A cation-conducting channelrhodopsin (VChR1) from Volvox carteri that can drive spiking at 589 nm, with excitation maximum red-shifted ∼70 nm compared with ChR2 is described, thereby defining a functionally distinct third category of microbial rhodopin proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Microbial Opsin Family of Optogenetic Tools

TL;DR: A Primer on these light-activated ion channels and pumps is provided, a group of opsins bridging prior categories are described, and the convergence of molecular engineering and genomic discovery for the utilization and understanding of these remarkable molecular machines are explored.
