Optotagging in primate cortex uncovers excitatory and inhibitory neuron specializations in form vision #optogenetics

Optotagging in primate cortex uncovers excitatory and inhibitory neuron specializations in form vision - Nature Communications
This study leverages cell type-specific optogenetics in the monkey cerebral cortex to elucidate the unique functional contributions of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in visual form processing. The findings contribute to a more detailed mechanistic understanding of high-level vision in primates.
