Simultaneous 2- and 3-photon multiplane imaging across cortical layers in freely moving mice

The paper introduces a head-mounted multiplane microscope that enables near-simultaneous imaging of neuronal activity from multiple cortical layers in freely moving mice.

Acute obstructive uropathy in male C57Bl/6 mice after general anesthesia with fentanyl, midazolam and medetomidine

The paper reports that male mice undergoing general anesthesia with fentanyl, midazolam, and medetomidine develop obstructive uropathy, while using xylazine instead prevents this complication.

Sustained ON alpha retinal ganglion cells in the temporal retina exhibit task-specific regional adaptions in dendritic signal integration

The paper investigates regional adaptations in dendritic signal processing of sustained ON alpha retinal ganglion cells in the mouse retina, finding differences in signal integration between nasal and temporal regions that may aid in prey detection.

A three-photon head-mounted microscope for imaging all layers of visual cortex in freely moving mice.

This paper describes a three-photon head-mounted microscope that enables imaging of all cortical layers in freely moving mice in fully lit environments, revealing differential neuronal activity in specific layers under different lighting conditions.

Connectomic Analysis of Thalamus-driven Disinhibition in Cortical Layer 4

The paper identifies a specialized disinhibitory network in cortical layer 4 driven by thalamic input, revealing subtype-specific connectivity patterns.

Anatomically-based skeleton kinetics and pose estimation in freely-moving rodents

This paper develops a videography-based method to estimate skeletal pose and joint kinetics in freely-moving rodents, validated by direct limb placement measurements.

Freely-moving mice visually pursue prey using a retinal area with least optic flow

The paper develops a method to reconstruct and quantify the visual scene of freely moving mice during prey capture, showing prey images are maintained in a functional focus with minimal optic flow and motion blur.

Accurate action potential inference from a calcium sensor protein through biophysical modeling

The paper develops a biophysical model of GCaMP6s calcium binding kinetics to accurately infer action potentials from fluorescence data in vivo.
