Optogenetic actuators enable highly precise spatiotemporal interrogation of biological
processes at levels ranging from the subcellular to cells, circuits and behaving organisms …

Cortical gain regulation allows neurons to respond adaptively to changing inputs. Neural
gain is modulated by internal and external influences, including attentional and arousal …

A key assumption of optogenetics is that light only affects opsin-expressing neurons.
However, illumination invariably heats tissue, and many physiological processes are …

A vast number of different neuronal activity patterns could each induce a different set of
activity-regulated genes. Mapping this coupling between activity pattern and gene induction …

Addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder characterized by the loss of control over drug
intake, high motivation to obtain the drug, and a persistent craving for the drug …

Mapping brain activity has received growing worldwide interest because it is expected to
improve disease treatment and allow for the development of important neuromorphic …

The attentional control of behavior is a higher-order cognitive function that operates through
attention and response inhibition. The locus coeruleus (LC), the main source of …

Animal whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a non-invasive
window into brain activity. A collection of associated methods aims to replicate observations …

Cochlear implants (CI s) are considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as they enable
speech comprehension in the majority of half a million CI users suffering from sensorineural …

Gastrointestinal (GI) vagal afferents convey sensory signals from the GI tract to the brain.
Numerous subtypes of GI vagal afferent have been identified but their individual roles in gut …
