This paper develops a method to activate specific neurons in the mammalian brain using peripheral administration of ligand precursors, demonstrating its effectiveness in inducing neurotransmitter release and behavioral responses.

This paper develops a novel micro-ECoG device and surgical technique to record multisensory neural activity from the parietal to temporal cortices in mice.

This study shows that activating locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons enhances aversive memory retrieval in mice.
