Optogenetic silencing strategies differ in their effects on inhibitory synaptic transmission

Optogenetic silencing strategies using light-driven ion fluxes permit rapid and effective inhibition of neural activity. Using rodent hippocampal neurons we show that silencing activity with a chloride pump can increase the probability of synaptically-evoked spiking in the period following light-act...

description Optogenetic silencing strategies using light-driven ion fluxes permit rapid and effective inhibition of neural activity. Using rodent hippocampal neurons we show that silencing activity with a chloride pump can increase the probability of synaptically-evoked spiking in the period following light-activation, whereas this is not the case for a proton pump. This effect can be accounted for by changes to the GABA(A) receptor reversal potential and demonstrates an important difference between silencing strategies.
