The paper develops a cell-type specific viral vector mouse model to induce synucleinopathy in individual circuit elements and characterizes its pathological features.

This paper introduces an optogenetic voltage-clamp technique for precise control of cellular voltage in live animals, demonstrating its application in C. elegans and rat neurons.

The paper introduces Aion, a bistable anion-conducting channelrhodopsin with a long open state and precise light-switchable control, enabling extended neuronal silencing in Drosophila.

BiPOLES is an optogenetic tool that allows bidirectional control of neuronal activity using two different light colors, enabling both excitation and inhibition of the same neurons in a single experiment.

The paper investigates how systemic inflammation affects synaptic plasticity using repetitive magnetic stimulation and shows that anti-inflammatory cytokines can restore plasticity in inflamed tissue cultures.

The paper engineers anion-conducting channelrhodopsins with tunable spectra and kinetics for optogenetic control of behavior.
