The paper uses VR-based real-time imaging to study cortical functional connectivity dynamics during behavioral transitions in a mouse model of autism, finding altered FC patterns in motor areas associated with motor clumsiness.

The paper introduces an improved CNMF-based algorithm for calcium imaging data analysis, enhancing cell detection accuracy and signal quality.

This paper introduces a low computational-cost cell detection method for calcium imaging data, showing it is faster and equally accurate compared to existing methods.

The paper investigates the cellular identity and calcium signaling activity of gnrh2-expressing cells in Ciona larva, identifying their roles in motor control and neuroendocrine signaling in glia cells.

The paper identifies two subsets of insular cortex neurons in mice that encode social exploration behavior differently during interactions with social targets.

The paper introduces FASHIO-2PM, a two-photon microscope that enables fast, aberration-free calcium imaging of large neural networks in awake mice at 7.5 Hz.

The paper introduces a wearable neuroimager for whole-brain imaging in mice, revealing premotor activity across the motor cortex.

The paper investigates how hippocampal CA1 neurons dynamically represent and stabilize spatial maps in mice learning a virtual-reality navigation task, showing that salient experiences like rewards reshape these maps through selective consolidation.

This paper demonstrates two-photon calcium imaging up to 1200 m below the cortical surface in mice, revealing higher reward prediction activity in the prelimbic area compared to the hippocampal CA1 region.
