Nethobench: Forecasting design and conditioning shape the structural realism of generated neural dynamics

Nethobench evaluates neural forecasting models using structural metrics across multiple families, revealing how design choices affect model performance on mouse and human neural data.

Neural mechanisms of adaptive value coding in the amygdala

This study shows that the basolateral amygdala encodes stimulus-specific reward value representations that adapt to internal states and changing reward conditions in mice.

Determinants of functional synaptic connectivity among amygdala-projecting prefrontal cortical neurons

The paper identifies factors determining functional synaptic connectivity among mPFC neurons projecting to the basolateral amygdala, showing anatomical and intrinsic properties influence connection probability.

Optogenetic silencing of neurotransmitter release with a naturally occurring invertebrate rhodopsin

This paper introduces eOPN3, a modified mosquito rhodopsin that suppresses synaptic transmission with high spatiotemporal precision in vivo.

High-efficiency optogenetic silencing with soma-targeted anion-conducting channelrhodopsins

This paper improves optogenetic silencing by enhancing membrane targeting and subcellular compartmentalization of GtACRs, resulting in more efficient neuronal inhibition.
