Patch-walking: Coordinated multi-pipette patch clamp for efficiently finding synaptic connections

The paper introduces a method called patch-walking to improve the efficiency of finding synaptic connections by reusing a single patch clamp electrode, resulting in more connections probed per experiment.

Rapid Cortical Adaptation and the Role of Thalamic Synchrony During Wakefulness

This study investigates rapid cortical adaptation during wakefulness in mice, finding that thalamic synchrony and feedforward inhibition play key roles in shaping sensory representations.

Compensation of physiological motion enables high-yield whole-cell recording in vivo

This paper develops a motion compensation method for whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in vivo, significantly improving gigaseal and recording yields in the mouse thalamus.

Inferring Thalamocortical Monosynaptic Connectivity In-Vivo

The paper develops a statistical framework to infer monosynaptic connectivity in vivo using extracellular recordings from rodent thalamocortical pathways.
