...Belzung et al., 2014). This could be overcome by fusing opsin genes to cell-type specific promoters; however... an opsin gene (e.g., channelrhodopsin-2, ChR2) fused to a reporter gene (e.g., mCherry) to easily detect...detect opsin-expressing cells. The resulting fusion gene is inserted in the antisense orientation with ...
