In this resource, the authors provide a comprehensive map of the thalamocortical projections in the mouse brain. To do this, they employed 254 highly overlapping injections of viral vectors to label and characterize long-range projections. Using this map as a framework, the authors determine the functionality of a subset of these connections via expression and activation of channelrhodopsin.
