This paper introduces SLAP2, a high-speed microscope for measuring submicron synapses and dendritic voltage in behaving mice, revealing nonlinear input-output amplification in neurons.

The paper induces ON/OFF cortical activity in awake mice to mimic sleep functions and shows it reduces sleep need and restores memory consolidation.

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of cortical neurons can awaken mice from sleep, coma, and anesthesia, indicating cortical sufficiency for arousal.

This paper validates the Perturbational Complexity Index (PCIst) in rats and mice, showing it reliably reflects consciousness states and is influenced by deep cortical layer stimulation.
