Estimating neural background input with controlled and fast perturbations: A bandwidth comparison between inhibitory opsins and neural circuits
To test the importance of a certain cell type or brain area it is common to make a lack of function experiment in which the neuronal population of interest is inhibited. Here we review physiological and methodological constraints for making controlled perturbations using the corticothalamic circuit...
