AND F.
 Stimulation activates the neurons electrically. ChR2 activates the neurons as it is a mixed cation channel. ATP can activate neurons that express ATP-gated channels. Lesions remove the neurons. Kir is an inwardly rectifying potassium channel that functionally inhibits neurons, as does expression of halorhodopsin.
