This study shows that Shank3 mutations disrupt cortex-wide dynamics, leading to impaired motor planning in mice.

The paper develops an all-optical system to inhibit cortical neurons and monitor responses, showing widespread suppression of sensory responses after optogenetic silencing.

This study investigates cortical network disruptions in Parkinson's disease using a mouse model, finding PV interneuron dysfunction drives maladaptive plasticity and motor deficits.

The paper evaluates functional connectivity in Shank3b mice across ages and brain states, finding age-dependent hyperconnectivity that is anesthesia-sensitive.

This study combines gamma neuromodulation and robotic rehabilitation to restore gamma function and improve motor recovery in stroke mice.

This study shows that anesthesia levels affect the spatiotemporal features and functional connectivity of sensory-evoked responses in the mouse cortex, with the late component persisting under anesthesia.

The paper uses all-optical methods in awake mice to reveal a segregated functional organization of forelimb representations in the motor cortex, identifying a new lateral grasping area.

The paper evaluates red-shifted GECIs for in vivo imaging of cortical neuronal activity during motor tasks in mice, finding jRCaMP1a suitable for longitudinal monitoring.
