In this issue of Neuron, Han and colleagues bring optogenetic methods into use in nonhuman primates by demonstrating the feasibility of achieving cell-type-specific photoactivation of macaque neocortical neurons. The use of optogenetic approaches in nonhuman primates promises to revolutionize our understanding of the neural circuitry that mediates complex cognitive functions.
