Abstract
Specific classes of neural cells in the mammalian brain can be rendered visible light sensitive by genetic means. We combine the new ‘optogenetics’ approaches to neural stimulation with simultaneous electrical recording from neural microcircuits in freely moving rats in an integrated cortically implanted optoelectronic microarray device. This enables both “write-in” and “read-out” of neural information in behaving animals.
