Optogenetic estimation of synaptic connections in brain slices
The proposed method simplifies the estimation of connection probabilities, which is expected to advance the study of neural circuits in conditions such as autism and schizophrenia where connection probabilities vary. Furthermore, this approach is applicable not only to local circuits but also to long-range connections, thus increasing experimental throughput.
