Chemogenetic stimulation of phrenic motor output and diaphragm activity

This study shows that targeting DREADD expression to phrenic motoneurons increases diaphragm activity and tidal volume in mice and rats.

Meta plasticity and Continual Learning: Mechanisms sub serving Brain Computer Interface Proficiency

This paper proposes a meta plasticity model to explain BCI learning and skill consolidation, showing that synaptic mechanisms operate across multiple time scales to improve control proficiency.

High-throughput in vivo synaptic connectivity mapping of neuronal micro-circuits using two-photon holographic optogenetics and compressive sensing

This paper introduces a high-throughput method for in vivo synaptic connectivity mapping using optogenetics and compressive sensing, achieving rapid and accurate identification of synaptic pairs in mice.

Compressive sensing of neuronal connectivity maps from subsampled, cell-targeted optogenetic stimulation of a network model

The paper develops a compressive sensing method to reconstruct neuronal connectivity maps using optogenetic stimulation and voltage readout, showing improved efficiency in sparse networks.

In Vivo two-photon imaging and parasympathetic neuromodulation of pancreatic microvascular dynamics in rats

This study uses in vivo two-photon imaging in rats to show parasympathetic neuromodulation affects pancreatic microvascular dynamics, including capillary motility and vasomotor oscillations.

Lateralized role of prefrontal cortex in guiding orienting behavior

This study investigates the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in guiding orienting behavior in rats, finding lateralized and time-dependent effects of PFC inactivation on decision-making.
