Studying CA1 and Subiculum Neurons

Caption

Low magnification image showing that hippocampal CA1 neurons (red) and dorsal subiculum neurons (green) can be genetically identified using two different protein markers. This permits the selective manipulation of CA1 or subiculum neurons during behavioral tasks in order to understand their functional roles.
