The paper develops balanced bidirectional optogenetics to alter neural temporal dynamics without affecting mean activity, showing that cortical temporal dynamics are causally required for sensory perception.

This study uses optogenetic manipulations to distinguish instructive from permissive roles of brain circuits in visual detection, showing that midbrain regions can compensate for primary visual cortex loss.

The paper introduces a multifunctional transgenic mouse line and a pipeline to read and write neural activity patterns with high precision in behaving animals.

This study replicates oxytocin's effect on blurring self-other distinction and shows that OXTR genotype influences sensitivity to this effect.

This study maps oxytocin pathway gene expression in the human brain and links it to brain function using fMRI, showing enrichment in specific regions and interactions with dopamine and acetylcholine systems.

This study examines sex differences in the link between executive function and social dysfunction in children and adolescents with ASD, finding significant sex differences in specific social domains.
