Provided herein are methods for analyzing in vivo a brain circuit. A method of the present disclosure may include using optogenetics to stimulate a first region of a brain of an individual, in conjunction with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of different regions of the brain to determine a dynamic functional connection between individual neurons of the first region and a second region of the brain. The method may further include identifying a third region of the brain, the neurons of which region mediate the dynamic functional connection between the first and second regions.
