This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of cholinergic vagal neurons reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, while glutamatergic stimulation does not, demonstrating the importance of pathway selectivity in vagus nerve stimulation.

This paper introduces multifunctional fiber-based probes capable of recording and modulating neuronal activity, chemical signaling, and delivering drugs in vivo, demonstrating their utility in studying brain function.

This study develops magnetoelectric nanodiscs (MENDs) for wireless, transgene-free neuromodulation, showing they can control reward behavior in mice through magnetic field stimulation.

The paper demonstrates the use of multifunctional fibers to record and modulate neural activity in macaques during cognitive tasks, showing changes in neural activity with local inhibition.

The paper shows that neuropod cells in the gut detect caloric sugars via SGLT1 or sweet taste receptors, guiding sugar preference by signaling the brain through glutamate release.

This paper develops new fabrication methods for multifunctional neural interfaces that integrate electrical, optical, and microfluidic functions, demonstrating their long-term viability in mice.
