This study investigates the role of FLWR-1 in synaptic vesicle recycling and neuronal activity in C. elegans, finding it regulates Ca2+ levels via PMCA and affects excitation-inhibition balance.

This study characterizes AkVAL, a bistable opsin from the flashlight fish, showing its ability to control neuronal activity and body movement in response to light cycles, suggesting its potential as an optogenetic tool.

The paper investigates neuropeptide regulation of neuromuscular signaling in zebrafish, showing that cAMP signaling enhances synaptic transmission and that neuropeptide mutants exhibit altered locomotion and synaptic properties.

The paper investigates how RIM and RIM-binding proteins regulate synaptic transmission by localizing Cav2 channels in C. elegans neuromuscular junctions, showing differential effects on cholinergic and GABAergic transmission.

This study evaluates the use of potassium-selective channelrhodopsins (KCRs) for hyperpolarizing C. elegans cells, finding that their effectiveness depends on illumination parameters and can sometimes induce depolarization.

The paper introduces pOpsicle, an all-optical system for tracking synaptic vesicle recycling using pH-sensitive fluorescent proteins and optogenetic stimulation in C. elegans.
