FGCaMP7, an Improved Version of Fungi-Based Ratiometric Calcium Indicator for In Vivo Visualization of Neuronal Activity
Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) have become a widespread tool for the visualization of neuronal activity. As compared to popular GCaMP GECIs, the…

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

Vesicular GABA-transporter neurons in the zona incerta are maximally active during non rapid-eye movement (NREM) and rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep
Sleep and wake are opposing behavioral states controlled by the activity of specific neurons. The neurons responsible for sleep/wake control have not been fully…
