Chemogenetic modulation of neuronal populations allows for precise control over cells engineered to express an exogenous receptor that responds exclusively to specific molecules. Chemogenetic approaches …
Interluminescence is a method for selective modulation of synaptic communication between genetically defined partners. Bioluminescent light from a pre-synaptic released luciferase activates a post-synaptic localized …
Using optogenetics, we can manipulate neuronal activity using light. Due to the young age of the animals used in this study, a non-invasive light source …
In vivo imaging data for CaBLAM manuscript. To download these data please click on the red download link below labeled “Download Using Globus” and set …
The malformation of neuronal circuitry in the developing neocortex leads to a variety of psychiatric disorders later in the organism’s life. By investigating alterations in …
This digital poster created for the 2021 BRAIN Initiative Investigators Meeting provides an overview of the advantages of bioluminescence for neuroscience research. Our BioLuminescent-OptoGenetics (BL-OG) …
In this video, Dr. Mansi Prakash describes her career path and the techniques she learned in order to pursue her research questions. The introduces interluminescence …
Patterns of neuronal activity during early development are believed to guide the assembly of neural circuits. Thus, alterations of neuronal activity in this time window …
This recorded lecture introduces undergraduate students to the chemistry of bioluminescence and fluorescence. The lecture explains how new fluorescent proteins are discovered, whether in nature …

An examle of freely moving Trpv1ChR2eYFP+/-animal following two independent surgical procedures for spinal cord and brain window implantations (procedure VI in Fig. 7). At the …
This recorded lecture introduces undergraduate students to genetic engineering, the creation of molecular constructs, laboratory techniques for in vitro study and viral transduction for in …
List of positions anterior-posterior positions relative to Bregma, as well as depth relative to skull mark and distance left to advance the electrode (along the …
This activity is designed for children ages 8-12 and will introduce them to the basics of bioluminescence and bioluminescent fungi. Learners will have the opportunity …
Using mRNA-Seq and de novo transcriptome assembly, we identified, cloned and characterized nine previously undiscovered fluorescent protein (FP) homologs from Aequorea victoria and a related …
