Optical means for modulating and monitoring neuronal activity, have provided substantial
insights to neurophysiology and toward our understanding of how the brain works …

The zebrafish is one of the most widely adopted animal models in both basic and
translational research. This popularity of the zebrafish results from several advantages such …

Calcium ion (Ca2+) control is an essential tool in neuronal research. Herein, we report three
thiocoumarin-based, visible light-activated Ca2+ chelators with quantum yields of 0.39, 0.52 …

Glutamate (Glu) is an excitatory neurotransmitter that plays a critical role in memory. Brain
mapping activities of such pathways relied heavily on the ability to release Glu with …

Organocatalysis is an emerging field, in which small metal-free organic structures catalyze a
diversity of reactions with a remarkable stereoselectivity. The ability to selectively switch on …

The 7-nitroindolinyl family of caging chromophores has received much attention in the past
two decades. However, its uncaging mechanism is still not clearly understood. In this study …

Calcium ion (Ca2+) control is an essential tool in neuronal research. Herein, we report three
thiocoumarin-based, visi-ble light-activated Ca2+ chelators with high quantum yields of 0.39 …

Kainate receptors play important roles in the central nervous system. However, investigating
their role in physiology is hampered by the current lack of tools to study them in dynamic …

An important component of biological research is the precise regulation of biomolecules in
their physiological environment. Recent advances in neuroscience, have made it possible to …

The 7-nitroindolinyl family of caging chromophores has received a lot of attention in the past
two decades. However, it is not clear if they undergo cyclization or migration upon photo …
