Optogenetics to tweak microcircuitry of brain to impact behavior.

work, conducted in rodent models, is the first to directly demonstrate the role of these specific connections in controlling behavior.

researchers are now exploring how changes to this segment of brain wiring can either make an animal sensitized to or oblivious to rewards


rewire brain to change behavior. ... where this all can lead?
