This study identifies TRPM4 channels as critical for persistent firing in TRN neurons during slow oscillations, revealing both cell-intrinsic and synaptic mechanisms underlying thalamic rhythmic activity.

The paper investigates how synaptic release of acetylcholine suppresses cortical activity via muscarinic and nicotinic receptors in different cortical layers.

This paper introduces fluidic microdrives to implant and actuate ultra-flexible neural electrodes with minimal tissue damage and high precision.
