This study develops a K+-selective channelrhodopsin for transcranial optogenetic inhibition of neuronal activity, showing reduced seizure activity in mouse models.

The paper identifies and characterizes Prox2+ and Runx3+ vagal sensory neurons and shows their essential roles in esophageal peristalsis and swallowing.

This study identifies molecular signatures for proprioceptor subtypes based on the muscle they innervate and shows that muscle identity is established early in development.

ISSAAC-seq jointly profiles chromatin accessibility and gene expression in single nuclei, revealing cell types, regulatory elements, and chromatin dynamics in mouse cerebral cortex.
