The causal interrogation of neuronal networks involved in specific behaviors requires the spatially and temporally controlled modulation of neuronal activity. For long-term manipulation of neuronal activity, chemogenetic tools provide a reasonable alternative to short-term optogenetic approaches. Here we show that virus mediated gene transfer of the ivermectin (IVM) activated glycine receptor mutant GlyR alpha(AG)(1) can be used for the selective and reversible silencing of specific neuronal networks in mice. In the striatum, dorsal hippocampus, and olfactory bulb, GlyR alpha(AG)(1) promoted IVM dependent effects in representative behavioral assays. Moreover, GlyR alpha(AG)(1) mediated silencing had a strong and reversible impact on neuronal ensemble activity and c-Fos activation in the olfactory bulb. Together our results demonstrate that long-term, reversible and re inducible neuronal silencing via GlyR alpha(AG)(1) is a promising tool for the interrogation of network mechanisms underlying the control of behavior and memory formation.
