CLOOSE provides an open-source platform for optical closed-loop experiments, enabling real-time data processing and neurofeedback with functional imaging data.

The paper tests for vectorized instructive signals in dendrites during a BCI task and finds that dendritic signals contain task-related information and disrupt learning when perturbed.

The paper investigates somato-dendritic coupling in layer 5 neurons of the awake mouse visual cortex, finding high and asymmetric coupling that persists regardless of visual stimulation or behavior.
