EASI-PASS: An accessible pipeline for linking functional imaging and mRNA profiling

Matching cell masks between two-photon calcium images and thick, expanded EASI-FISH volumes recovers molecular identity for 72% (slice) to 83% (in vivo) of imaged neurons on conventional microscopes.

Slow-Timescale Regulation of Dopamine Release and Mating Drive over Days

The paper investigates how dopamine transmission and mating drive change over days in male mice, finding two mechanisms that regulate these slow-timescale dynamics.

A Sensitive Soma-localized Red Fluorescent Calcium Indicator for Multi-Modality Imaging of Neuronal Populations In Vivo

This paper develops a red fluorescent calcium indicator, SomaFRCaMPi, which improves neuronal activity imaging accuracy and scale in vivo by reducing neuropil contamination and enhancing signal-to-noise ratio.

Competition between stochastic neuropeptide signals calibrates the rate of satiation

The paper shows how stochastic neuropeptide signals (NPY and MSH) compete to regulate cAMP levels in neurons, influencing satiation through state-dependent integration.

Brief Apnea and Hypoventilation Reduces Seizure Duration and Shifts Seizure Location for Several Hours in a Model of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.

The paper investigates how brief apnea and hypoventilation (A&H) after seizures in a severe TBI model reduces seizure duration and shifts seizure location for several hours.
