Optogenetically driven manipulation of circuit-specific activity enables causality studies, but
its global brain-wide effect is rarely reported. Here, we applied simultaneous functional …

The dorsal and ventral hippocampal regions (dHP and vHP) are proposed to have distinct
functions. Electrophysiological studies have revealed intra-hippocampal variances along the …

Changes in brain dynamics accompany many, if not all, neuropsychiatric and neurological
disorders. Even in health, however, the activity of global brain networks remains poorly …

In recent years, optical stimulation of neurons that bear a light-gated cation
channel,“Optogenetics”, has opened a new avenue for exploring neuronal connectivity of …

The investigation of the functional connectivity of precise neural circuits across the entire
intact brain can be achieved through optogenetic functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Encoding of sensory inputs in the cortex is characterized by sparse neuronal network
activation. Optogenetic stimulation has previously been combined with fMRI (ofMRI) to probe …

To understand how information from different cortical areas is integrated and processed
through the cortico-basal ganglia pathways, we used optogenetics to systematically …

Sensory processing is a complex neurological process that receives, integrates, and
responds to information from one's own body and environment, which is closely related to …

The combination of optogenetic control and fMRI readout in the brain is increasingly used to
assess neuronal networks and underlying signal processing. However, how exactly …

Sensory cortices contain extensive descending (corticofugal) pathways, yet their impact on
brainstem processing–particularly across sensory systems–remains poorly understood. In …
