A high-light sensitivity optical neural silencer: development, and application to optogenetic control of nonhuman primate cortex

Technologies for silencing the electrical activity of genetically-targeted neurons in the brain are important for assessing the contribution of specific cell types and pathways towards behaviors and pathologies. Recently we found that archaerhodopsin-3 from Halorubrum sodomense (Arch), a light-driv...
