In #mouse #cortex and #striatum, the probes support localized circuit manipulation and parallel identification of multiple cell types.

🧠🔦 It’s finally there: #NeuropixelsOpto which integrates high-density #electrophysiology and #optogenetics on the same probe.

The just presented prototype combines 960 recording sites w 14 blue & 14 red light emitters on a 70 µm-wide shank, enabling spatially addressable #optogenetic activation, silencing and #optotagging during large-scale recordings.
