The implementation of optogenetic tools to manipulate neuronal activity with light is transforming our ability to investigate neural systems. By expressing light-sensitive proteins, or opsins, in genetically defined neuronal populations, optogenetic approaches permit new experimental questions that span from the specific properties of defined synaptic connections to their roles in complex behaviors. In this review, we focus on opsins for manipulating neuronal activity and discuss their biophysical properties, delivery strategies, and how these techniques have been adapted to unravel somatosensory circuits.
