Sensory perception involves the coordinated effort of thousands of intermingled neurons that act together in groups to amplify and strengthen perceptions. We developed a new approach to edit neural population codes in the cortex during behavior using spatiotemporally precise multiphoton optogenetics. These tools allow us to manipulate individual or groups of cells selected by their functional properties with the precision to write in particular trains of action potentials. We are using these tools to probe how different patterns of activity added to the mouse visual cortex change the overall firing patterns in the cortex, recruiting inhibition, and altering sensory representations.
