An increasingly powerful approach for studying brain circuits relies on targeting genetically
encoded sensors and effectors to specific cell types. However, current approaches for this …

Light-sheet microscopy is an ideal technique for imaging large cleared samples; however,
the community is still lacking instruments capable of producing volumetric images of …

Rodent rhythmic whisking behavior matures during a critical period around 2 weeks after
birth. The functional adaptations of neocortical circuitry during this developmental period …

We use an ultrafast diode-pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) to demonstrate several
applications in multiphoton microscopy. The ultrafast SDL is based on an optically pumped …

Human cellular models of neurodegeneration require reproducibility and longevity, which is
necessary for simulating age-dependent diseases. Such systems are particularly needed for …

Vasocative-intestinal-peptide (VIP + ) and somatostatin (SST + ) interneurons are involved
in modulating barrel cortex activity and perception during active whisking. Here we identify a …

The inhibitory action of Nogo-A on axonal growth has been well described. However, much
less is known about the effects that Nogo-A could exert on the plasticity of neuronal circuits …
