Microendoscopic calcium imaging of the primary visual cortex of behaving macaques

Mineki Oguchi et al.
Scientific Reports | August 23, 2021
In vivo calcium imaging with genetically encoded indicators has recently been applied to macaque brains to monitor neural activities from a large population of cells simultaneously. Microendoscopic calcium imaging...

Reverse optogenetics of G protein signaling by zebrafish non-visual opsin Opn7b for synchronization of neuronal networks

Raziye Karapinar et al.
Nature Communications | July 23, 2021
Opn7b is a non-visual G protein-coupled receptor expressed in zebrafish. Here we find that Opn7b expressed in HEK cells constitutively activates the Gi/o pathway and illumination with blue/green light inactivates G...

Dentate Granule Cells Encode Reinforcement Learning

DGCs’ activity predicts auditory decisions after task learning

Corticotropin-releasing factor neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis exhibit sex-specific pain encoding in mice

Waylin Yu et al.
Scientific Reports | June 14, 2021
The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) plays an emerging role in pain regulation. Pharmacological studies have found that inhibiting corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling in the BNST can selectively...

A locus coeruleus to dentate gyrus noradrenergic circuit modulates aversive contextual processing

Dong-oh Seo et al.
Neuron | June 2, 2021
Dysregulation in contextual processing is believed to affect several forms of psychopathology, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The dentate gyrus (DG), a subregion of the hippocampus, is thought to be an...

Taste Responsiveness Embedded in PBN

Genetic identity of taste perceiving neurons

Parabrachial nucleus circuit governs neuropathic pain-like behavior

Li Sun et al.
Nature Communications | November 25, 2020
The lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) is known to relay noxious information to the amygdala for processing affective responses. However, it is unclear whether the LPBN actively processes neuropathic pain characterized...

Reduced activity of GAD67 expressing cells in the reticular thalamus enhance thalamic excitatory activity and varicella zoster virus associated pain

Rebecca Hornung et al.
Neuroscience Letters | August 4, 2020
Within the reticular thalamic nucleus neurons express gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and these cells project to the ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus. When GABA activity decreases the activity of excitatory cells...

Heterogeneous Habenular Neuronal Ensembles during Selection of Defensive Behaviors

Salvatore Lecca et al.
Cell Reports | June 9, 2020
Optimal selection of threat-driven defensive behaviors is paramount to an animal’s survival. The lateral habenula (LHb) is a key neuronal hub coordinating behavioral responses to aversive stimuli. Yet, how individual...

Multiple Maps of the Same Spatial Context Can Stably Coexist in the Mouse Hippocampus

Liron Sheintuch et al.
Current Biology | April 20, 2020
Hippocampal place cells selectively fire when an an- imal traverses a particular location and are consid- ered a neural substrate of spatial memory. Place cells were shown to change their activity patterns (remap)...

Action representation in the mouse parieto-frontal network

Tuce Tombaz et al.
Scientific Reports | March 27, 2020
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and frontal motor areas comprise a cortical network supporting goal-directed behaviour, with functions including sensorimotor transformations and decision making. In primates, this...

Role of spontaneous and sensory orexin network dynamics in rapid locomotion initiation

Mahesh M. Karnani et al.
Progress In Neurotechnology | February 11, 2020
Appropriate motor control is critical for normal life, and requires hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs). HONs are slowly regulated by nutrients, but also display rapid (subsecond) activity fluctuations in...
