Two-timepoint assays of neural responses increase the sensitivity and specificity of single-cell whole-brain activity screens

Alejandro Ramirez, Evan J. Kyzar, Lydia Rogerson…·C. Daniel Salzman

This paper introduces a whole-brain screening method using two-timepoint assays to improve sensitivity and specificity in identifying neural responses, validated through studies on hunger, satiety, and semaglutide treatment.
