This paper introduces MaMBA, a modular DNA barcoding strategy for antibodies, enabling multiplexed in situ protein imaging and high-throughput biomolecule detection.

The paper develops a genetically encoded adenosine sensor to show activity-dependent non-vesicular adenosine release from somatodendritic regions via calcium influx and equilibrative transporters.

The paper develops a new oxytocin sensor to study compartmental OT release in neurons and finds distinct calcium channel roles and fusion machinery differences in axons and somatodendritic regions.

This paper identifies the medial sector of the auditory thalamus (ATm) as an interface that transforms alerting environmental cues into internal arousal and emotional state changes in mice.

This paper introduces a neuropsin-based optogenetic tool, cOpn5, that enables precise control of Gq signaling with high temporal and spatial resolution.

The paper identifies molecularly distinct neuronal subtypes in the superior colliculus that mediate predator avoidance and prey capture behaviors through separate transcriptomic codes.

The paper characterizes serotonin neuron subtypes in the dorsal and medial raphe nuclei using single-cell RNA sequencing and maps their axonal projections to understand their functional diversity.

This paper develops GACh sensors, genetically-encoded fluorescent indicators for acetylcholine, validated across multiple cell types and species, revealing new insights into cholinergic transmission.
