The paper shows that feature-specific inhibitory connectivity in cortical circuits enhances the accuracy of visual representations by enabling completion or cancelation of activity patterns.

This paper engineers high-performance microbial opsins for precise spatial and temporal control of neuronal networks, enabling large-scale activation of defined neurons in vivo and in vitro.

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 shows ultrasound activates TRAAK K+ channels directly through the lipid membrane, with kinetics similar to mechanical activation, suggesting mechanosensitive channels mediate ultrasound's effects on neurons.
