Since the time of their introduction, optical tweezers (OTs) have grown to be a powerful tool
in the hands of biologists. OTs use highly focused laser light to guide, manipulate, or sort …

Optogenetics, a field concentrating on controlling cellular functions by means of light-
activated proteins, has shown tremendous potential in neuroscience. It possesses superior …

Highlights•Neural activity can now be recorded in all cells of larval zebrafish
brains.•Neurons involved in sensation, motor control, and learning have been …

The vestibular system, which detects gravity and motion, is crucial to survival, but the neural
circuits processing vestibular information remain incompletely characterised. In part, this is …

The vestibular system, which reports on motion and gravity, is essential to postural control,
balance, and egocentric representations of movement and space. The motion needed to …

Protein kinases are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes including cell
differentiation, survival, migration, axon guidance and neuronal plasticity. A growing set of …

Motivation From image stacks to computational models, processing digital representations of
neuronal morphologies is essential to neuroscientific research. Workflows involve various …

For implantable neural interfaces, functional/clinical outcomes are challenged by limitations
in specificity and stability of inorganic microelectrodes. A biological intermediary between …

Multimode fibers are attractive for a variety of applications such as communication
engineering and biophotonics. However, a major hurdle for the optical transmission through …

The optic tectum of larval zebrafish is an important model for understanding visual
processing in vertebrates. The tectum has been traditionally viewed as dominantly visual …
