This paper identifies a REM-active basal ganglia circuit in mice that regulates REM sleep and anxiety by showing its role in sleep duration and behavioral responses to aversive stimuli.

The paper identifies a circuit pathway in mice where sleep-deprived prefrontal cortex neurons trigger nesting and sleep via connections to the preoptic and hypothalamus.

This study shows that dysfunction of VTA GABA neurons leads to mania-like behaviors, including increased wakefulness and reduced sleep, which can be reversed by valproate.

This study tracks glioma progression in mice, showing decreased neuronal synchrony, disrupted neurovascular coupling, and seizure-related hypoxia in infiltrated cortex.

This study shows that galanin neurons in the hypothalamus regulate sleep homeostasis, body temperature, and the effects of dexmedetomidine.

~2-4x SNR gains and 20-300x compression on calcium and voltage imaging, from a patch-wise penalized matrix decomposition that splits signal from temporally uncorrelated noise without hyperparameter tuning.
