A central goal in understanding brain function is to link specific cell populations to
behavioral outputs. In recent years, the selective targeting of specific neural circuits has …

Recent years have seen substantial developments in technology for imaging neural circuits,
raising the prospect of large-scale imaging studies of neural populations involved in …

Optogenetics has become a key tool for understanding the function of neural circuits and
controlling their behavior. An array of directly light driven opsins have been genetically …

Optogenetic activation of axons is a powerful approach for determining the synaptic
properties and impact of long-range projections both in vivo and in vitro. However, because …

The direct detection of neuronal electrical activity is one of the most challenging goals in non-
BOLD fMRI research. Previous work has demonstrated its feasibility in phantom and cell …

Cell assemblies manipulation by optogenetics is pivotal to advance neuroscience and
neuroengineering. In in vivo applications, photostimulation often broadly addresses a …

We propose and demonstrate experimentally a variable spatial pattern probe based on
offset launch at the input facet of multi-mode optical waveguide for the use of optogenetics …
