The paper develops a two-photon optical system for high-speed volumetric recording and optogenetic stimulation in larval zebrafish to reconstruct functional connectivity of the left habenula.

The paper uses all-optical methods in awake mice to reveal a segregated functional organization of forelimb representations in the motor cortex, identifying a new lateral grasping area.

This study identifies that combined optogenetic stimulation and motor training restores pre-stroke motor-evoked cortical activity, distinguishing it as the most effective post-stroke rehabilitation therapy.
