The paper introduces hpGRISZ, a fluorescent biosensor for in vivo imaging of synaptic zinc dynamics, showing high responsiveness and suitability for detecting extracellular zinc release.

The paper examines synaptic properties of corticothalamic inputs in normal hearing and noise-induced hearing loss, finding differences in synaptic strength and plasticity between thalamic subdivisions.

This study investigates cell-type-specific plasticity in deep-layer auditory cortical neurons after noise trauma, finding shifts in synaptic input and response properties in corticothalamic neurons.

This study develops a genetically encoded far-red fluorescent indicator (FRISZ) to image synaptic Zn2+ dynamics in live animals and demonstrates its use in the auditory cortex of awake mice.

The paper investigates how inhibitory interneurons contribute to auditory cortex plasticity after peripheral damage, revealing cell-type-specific roles in restoring sound processing.

The paper investigates bidirectional synaptic zinc plasticity at mouse glutamatergic synapses, showing that it is mediated by Group 1 mGluRs and influenced by both electrical stimulation and sound experience.
