What is "intersectional genetic strategy"? How does it work? What can it do?

Question

[Ethan Lee]

Recently I was reading a paper published in Nature Neuroscience, the authors used a method called "intersectional genetic strategy" to functionally characterize different dopamine neuron subtypes. What is "intersectional genetic strategy"?

Your replies will be of great help to me and I will be very grateful if you can answer my questions!

Sounds like neologism made up by the authors to me. I'd just look in the methods and see what they actaully do, rather than the name they attach to it.

Thanks, I'd check it out
