The paper identifies miR-2b-1 as a microRNA regulating embryonic movement in Drosophila by targeting the chloride channel gene Motor.

The paper introduces an open-source LED controller for spectrally arbitrary visual stimulation and optogenetics during 2-photon imaging, demonstrating its use in zebrafish and Drosophila experiments.

The paper develops a method to image the entire inner plexiform layer of the retina at once, revealing response speed gradients in bipolar cells and isolating experimental batch effects.

This paper introduces a flexible spatial visual stimulator with arbitrary spectrum control for use in vision research, demonstrating its application in mouse and zebrafish models.
