Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Lee et al. (2016) assessed the brain-wide effects of stimulating the direct and indirect pathway by optogenetic activation of D1 and D2 striatal neurons. This work demonstrates the exquisite power of combining cell-type-specific perturbation methods with focal and whole-brain measurements of brain activity.
