Neurons form neural circuits through functional synapses. Inputs and outputs across these circuits contribute to the brain’s intricate mechanisms of information processing and behavioral responses. By combining acousto-optic deflector-based scanning microscopy with optogenetics, whole cell electrophysiological recordings, and transgenic viral delivery, researchers can now investigate and map relevant neural circuits with high spatial and cell type-specific precision. The goal of this review is to provide the reader with guidelines and methods for using a combinatorial approach toward circuit mapping in rodent brain tissue.
