The paper introduces the Crunchometer, an open-source acoustic system for high-resolution feeding analysis, and shows it detects changes in feeding behavior and identifies meal-related neurons in mice.

This study shows that male Mecp2 knockout mice exhibit altered social behavior and reduced mPFC pyramidal neuron synchrony during social competition, which can be partially restored by inhibiting ventral hippocampus projections.

The paper investigates how neuronal ensembles form by showing that optogenetic and electrical stimulation increase excitability and synaptic plasticity in mouse cortical neurons.

The paper tracks neuronal ensembles in mouse visual cortex over weeks, finding both stable and transient ensembles, with core cells maintaining connectivity over time.

The paper studies how retinal neuronal ensembles process natural images by analyzing their synchronized activity in response to visual stimuli.

EMC2 tracks calcium dynamics in neurons of behaving animals, showing daily turnover in mouse visual cortex and identifying three neuron ensembles in Hydra.
