Combining phase analysis and causal stimulation enables longitudinal mesoscale connectivity mapping

This paper develops a method to longitudinally measure causal connectivity in macaque brains over weeks using optogenetic stimulation and micro-electrocorticography.

The spatiotemporal structure of neural activity in motor cortex during reaching

This study maps the spatiotemporal structure of neural activity in motor cortex during reaching, revealing heterogeneous distribution of task information and coordinated dynamics across neural populations.

A flexible quality metric for electrophysiological recordings across brain regions and species

The paper introduces a new quality metric for electrophysiological recordings that adapts to varying refractory period durations across brain regions and species.

Mapping eye, arm, and reward information in frontal motor cortices using electrocorticography in non-human primates

This study maps eye, arm, and reward information in frontal motor cortices of non-human primates using micro-ECoG during reaching tasks, revealing overlapping neural computations.

Enhancer-AAVs allow genetic access to oligodendrocytes and diverse populations of astrocytes across species

The paper develops AAV-based genetic tools to specifically target astrocytes and oligodendrocytes across species, revealing functional roles in reward-dependent acetylcholine responses.
