摘要

A major goal of neuroscience has been to understand the systems-level neural processes governing higher-order functions, such as perception, cognition and emotion. Until recently, however, achievement of this goal has been limited by a lack of neuromodulatory tools capable of targeting distinct populations of neurons, based on either genetic identity or circuit connectivity, in behaving animals with the temporal precision required for causality testing. Such a tool would finally enable direct linkage of distinct neural activity patterns to behaviour. Since its inception in 2005, the field of optogenetics has been responsible for the rapid progress in our understanding of the intricate neural circuit elements driving emotive behaviours relevant to psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. By using light pulses to turn specific populations of neurons on and off in awake, freely moving animals, optogenetics has finally provided science with a tool that has the spatial and temporal resolution required to causally link neural activity patterns to behaviour.
