Miniscope Zero: a fully wireless, single-cell-resolution miniature microscope for imaging neural dynamics in freely behaving animals

Functional imaging of nine distinct neuronal populations under a miniscope in freely behaving animals

The paper introduces Neuroplex, a method combining miniscope Ca2+ recordings with spectral imaging to identify nine neuronal subtypes in freely behaving animals.

Distinct changes to hippocampal and medial entorhinal circuits emerge across the progression of cognitive deficits in epilepsy

This study examines how hippocampal and medial entorhinal circuit dysfunction evolves with cognitive deficits in epilepsy using in vivo electrophysiology in mice.

An anterior hypothalamic circuit gates stress vulnerability

This study identifies an anterior hypothalamic circuit that modulates stress vulnerability by integrating valence signals from the amygdala.

Dissociable contributions of the amygdala and ventral hippocampus to stress-induced changes in defensive behavior

The paper investigates how stress-induced plasticity in the amygdala and ventral hippocampus differentially supports non-associative defensive behaviors.

Simultaneous dual-color calcium imaging in freely-behaving mice

This paper introduces a dual-channel miniscope for simultaneous two-wavelength calcium imaging in freely behaving mice, showing spatial coding changes over time.

Aversive experience drives offline ensemble reactivation to link memories across days

This study shows that strong aversive experiences in mice drive offline reactivation of both recent aversive and older neutral memories, linking them across days.

Ensemble remodeling supports memory-updating

This study identifies a mechanism where hippocampal ensembles are remodeled to support memory-updating in mice during spatial reversal tasks.
