    Biologically informed cortical models predict optogenetic perturbations

    Christos Sourmpis, Carl CH Petersen ... Guillaume Bellec
    Multi area RNN models fitted to in-vivo cortical activity predict behavioral changes induced by optogenetic perturbations, if biologically informed connectivity constraints on the optogenetically targeted inhibitory neurons are applied.
