Optical dissection of neural circuits responsible for Drosophila larval locomotion with halorhodopsin.

Optical dissection of neural circuits responsible for Drosophila larval locomotion with halorhodopsin.

Halorhodopsin (NpHR), a light-driven microbial chloride pump, enables silencing of neuronal function with superb temporal and spatial resolution. Here, we generated a transgenic line of Drosophila that drives expression of NpHR under control of the Gal4/UAS system. Then, we used it to dissect the fu...
