Promising transgenic tools for the study of γ motor neurons. Many technologies available in the mouse could allow for targeted recording, control, or identification of γ motor neurons, especially if a suitable γ motor neuron-specific driver was identified. Examples include fluorescent marker proteins like GFP, optogenetic channels like channelrhodopsin or halorhodopsin, Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADD) or other chemogenetic technologies, or genetically encoded calcium or voltage indicators.
