Significance: The identification and manipulation of spatially identified neuronal ensembles with optical methods have been recently used to prove the causal link between neuronal ensemble activity and learned behaviors. However, the standardization of a conceptual framework to identify and manipulate neuronal ensembles from calcium imaging recordings is still lacking. Aim: We propose a conceptual framework for the identification and manipulation of neuronal ensembles using simultaneous calcium imaging and two-photon optogenetics in behaving mice. Approach: We review the computational approaches that have been used to identify and manipulate neuronal ensembles with single cell resolution during behavior in different brain regions using all-optical methods. Results: We proposed three steps as a conceptual framework that could be applied to calcium imaging recordings to identify and manipulate neuronal ensembles in behaving mice: (1) transformation of calcium transients into binary arrays; (2) identification of neuronal ensembles as similar population vectors; and (3) targeting of neuronal ensemble members that significantly impact behavioral performance. Conclusions: The use of simultaneous two-photon calcium imaging and two-photon optogenetics allowed for the experimental demonstration of the causal relation of population activity and learned behaviors. The standardization of analytical tools to identify and manipulate neuronal ensembles could accelerate interventional experiments aiming to reprogram the brain in normal and pathological conditions.
