    Description: In the study of complex mammalian behaviours, technological limitations have prevented spatiotemporally precise control over intracellular signalling processes. Here we report the development of a versatile family of genetically encoded optical tools ('optoXRs') that leverage common structure-function relationships among G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to recruit and control, with high spatiotemporal precision, receptor-initiated biochemical signalling pathways. In particular, we have developed and characterized two optoXRs that selectively recruit distinct, targeted signalling pathways in response to light. The two optoXRs exerted opposing effects on spike firing in nucleus accumbens in vivo, and precisely timed optoXR photostimulation in nucleus accumbens by itself sufficed to drive conditioned place preference in freely moving mice. The optoXR approach allows testing of hypotheses regarding the causal impact of biochemical signalling in behaving mammals, in a targetable and temporally precise manner.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Airan, Raag D -- Thompson, Kimberly R -- Fenno, Lief E -- Bernstein, Hannah -- Deisseroth, Karl -- England -- Nature. 2009 Apr 23;458(7241):1025-9. doi: 10.1038/nature07926.

    Description: The hippocampus is one of several brain areas thought to play a central role in affective behaviors, but the underlying local network dynamics are not understood. We used quantitative voltage-sensitive dye imaging to probe hippocampal dynamics with millisecond resolution in brain slices after bidirectional modulation of affective state in rat models of depression. We found that a simple measure of real-time activity-stimulus-evoked percolation of activity through the dentate gyrus relative to the hippocampal output subfield-accounted for induced changes in animal behavior independent of the underlying mechanism of action of the treatments. Our results define a circuit-level neurophysiological endophenotype for affective behavior and suggest an approach to understanding circuit-level substrates underlying psychiatric disease symptoms.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Airan, Raag D -- Meltzer, Leslie A -- Roy, Madhuri -- Gong, Yuqing -- Chen, Han -- Deisseroth, Karl -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Aug 10;317(5839):819-23.
