Transcranial pulsed ultrasound stimulates intact brain circuits. (2010, background): “With respect to the spatial resolutions of brain stimulation approaches, however, optogenetic approaches still reign superior when micron-scale resolutions are required—for example, in the fine functional mapping of intact mouse brain circuits (Ayling et al., 2009; Hira et al., 2009) or in the study”
The Development and Application of Optogenetics (2011, background): “…of pyramidal neurons in Thy1::ChR2 mice has enabled rapid, functional mapping of motor control across the motor cortex (Ayling et al. 2009, Hira et al. 2009), and axonal stimulation in regions contralateral to injected cortical areas has enabled the mapping of projection patterns in…”
