In Utero Electroporation for Manipulation of Specific Neuronal Populations
Membranes, 2022 The complexity of brain functions is supported by the heterogeneity of brain tissue and millisecond-scale information processing. Understanding how complex neural circuits control animal behavior requires the precise manipulation of specific neuronal ...

Precise excitation-inhibition balance controls gain and timing in the hippocampus
eLife, 2019 Excitation-inhibition (EI) balance controls excitability, dynamic range, and input gating in many brain circuits. Subsets of synaptic input can be selected or 'gated' by precise modulation of finely tuned EI balance, but assessing the granularity of EI ...

Finite-State Channel Models for Signal Transduction in Neural Systems
, 2016 Information theory provides powerful tools for understanding communication systems. This analysis can be applied to intercellular signal transduction, which is a means of chemical communication among cells and microbes.

Optogenetic perturbations reveal the dynamics of an oculomotor integrator [PDF]
, 2014 Many neural systems can store short-term information in persistently firing neurons. Such persistent activity is believed to be maintained by recurrent feedback among neurons.

Crystal structure of the red light-activated channelrhodopsin Chrimson
Nature Communications, 2018 Channelrhodopsins are light-activated ion channels that mediate cation permeation across cell membranes upon light absorption. Red-light-activated channelrhodopsins are of particular interest, because red light penetrates deeper into biological tissues ...

Functional Studies of Volvox Channelrhodopsin Chimeras [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Recently, two new members of the channelrhodopsin family have been discovered in the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri and named VChR1 and VChR2. VChR2 shows a similar characteristic to the known Chlamydomonas ChR2 [1], which is successfully employed in optogenetics.

Calcium-permeable channelrhodopsins for the photocontrol of calcium signalling
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractChannelrhodopsins are light-gated ion channels used to control excitability of designated cells in large networks with high spatiotemporal resolution. While ChRs selective for H+, Na+, K+ and anions have been discovered or engineered, Ca2+-selective ChRs have not been reported to date. Here, we analyse ChRs and mutant derivatives with regard to

Vectorial Ion Transport by Channelrhodopsin-2 [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Channelrhodopsins represent a third member of microbial-type rhodopsins and have gained considerable attention in neurobiology as a tool to control the excitability of neurons. The other photoreceptors act either as light-driven ion pumps like bacteriorhodopsin (BR) or as part of a relay system like the sensory rhodopsins (SR).
