Question 2

In the experiments of Liu and colleagues, mice were genetically modified so that active neurons in the dentate gyrus (DG) produced channelrhodopsin, a protein that would excite those cells when exposed to blue light.

When they were tested in a familiar, nonthreatening environment, these mice
