Topics covered include:

• Diversity of neuronal cell types and approaches to cell type classification
• Experimental design to dissect the functional contribution of diverse neuronal cell types to behaviour
• Stereotaxic surgeries and cell type-specific targeting with viral vectors in transgenic mice
• Deep-brain imaging at the single-cell level using miniature microscopes in freely-moving mice and 2-photon recordings in head-fixed animals
• All-optical interrogation of neural circuits with combined imaging and optogenetic approaches
• Introduction to analysis of deep-brain imaging data
