This paper optimizes optogenetically functionalized GPCRs to achieve specific in vivo neuromodulatory signaling in Drosophila, showing rescue of endogenous receptor function.

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.

This paper introduces eOPN3, a modified mosquito rhodopsin that suppresses synaptic transmission with high spatiotemporal precision in vivo.

The paper identifies a somatosensory network in Drosophila larvae that uses neuropeptide action to gate specific escape behaviors based on sensory input type.
