During

We’ve compiled our latest list of the neural circuit research papers published in July with relevance and interest to the Inscopix Community. They include several resource-oriented papers like simultaneous optogenetics and calcium imaging during free behavior, genetically-encoded fluorescent indicators for dopamine, and new calcium sensors, etc., all validated during in vivo behaviors. We include papers
