Answer to Question 1

Answer: Injection of muscimol will inactivate a brain region (as will lidocaine). Transcranial magnetic stimulation will also inactivate a brain region. Finally, the optogenetic insertion of the NpHR, which controls a chloride channel, and is sensitive to yellow light, can be used to temporarily inactivate a brain region.
