The paper creates a 3D atlas of SST, PV, and TH interneurons in the mouse caudoputamen, revealing distinct spatial distributions across striatal territories.

The paper maps neuronal diversity in the mouse insular cortex, identifying distinct morphological and functional types that underlie its diverse roles.

The paper introduces a genetically encoded fluorescence sensor for PKC activity, demonstrating its use in vivo and identifying PKC activity in specific neurons during locomotion.

The paper identifies thalamic neurons that integrate signals from the basal ganglia and cerebellum during motor learning and shows their critical role in motor task execution.

This paper improves axon segmentation in light-sheet microscopy images by fine-tuning the TrailMap model with expert-labeled data, achieving better recall and adjusted F1-score.

The paper develops improved genetically-encoded cAMP sensors, cAMPFIREs, for high-sensitivity in vivo imaging of cAMP dynamics in neurons and Drosophila.

The paper uses in vivo imaging to compare synaptic dynamics between excitatory synapses on pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons, finding that PV+ synapses are more stable and less heterogeneous.

This study investigates how opioids modulate glutamate transmission in thalamo-cortico-striatal circuits in mice, revealing distinct effects of mu- and delta-opioid receptors on neural activity.
