The paper reports that common AAV transduction procedures can induce artefactual Ca2+ micro-waves in the hippocampus and provides an alternative method to avoid this issue.

This study identifies NaV1.1 as essential for proprioceptive signaling and motor behaviors in mice, showing its role in maintaining reliable proprioceptor firing during sustained muscle stretch.

This study shows that increased spontaneous activity in the visual cortex mediates visual habituation by reducing cortical responsiveness through matching spontaneous and evoked activity levels.

The paper uses machine learning to identify and target cortical ensembles in mouse visual cortex, demonstrating the feasibility of closed-loop experiments with precise manipulation of functional ensembles.
