Physiological optical tagging sequencing (PhOTseq) was capable of selecting rare cell types and enriching them by nearly 100-fold and was applied to the challenge of mapping receptor-ligand pairings among pheromone-sensing neurons in mice.

Integrated functional characterization and optical tagging for cell-type identification

Physiological optical tagging sequencing (PhOTseq) was developed, a technique for tagging and expression profiling of cells on the basis of their functional properties, and a reporter combining a green calcium indicator with a photoactivatable red reporter was developed.

Decoding Cellular Mechanisms for Mechanosensory Discrimination

A Molecular Calcium Integrator Reveals a Striatal Cell Type Driving Aversion

FLiCRE was used to transcriptionally label activated neural ensembles in the nucleus accumbens of the mouse brain during brief stimulation of aversive inputs and expressed an optogenetic channel selectively in this cell-type, and showed that direct recruitment of this otherwise genetically-inaccessible population elicits behavioral aversion.

Designed optogenetic tool for bridging single-neuronal multimodal information in intact animals

A genetically encoded Photo-inducible single-cell labeling system (Pisces) that enables simple, rapid and long-term in vivo labeling of the entire morphology of arbitrary neurons, as exemplified in intact larval zebrafish, to advance the construction of single-neuronal multimodal atlases and expedite the elucidation of neural circuitries underlying brain functions.

Behavioral state coding by molecularly defined paraventricular hypothalamic cell type ensembles

CaRMA imaging offers a solution to the problem of how to rapidly evaluate the function of the panoply of cell types being uncovered with scRNA-seq, and validated molecularly defined neurons as important information processing units in the PVH.

2P-NucTag: on-demand phototagging for molecular analysis of functionally identified cortical neurons

A high-throughput two-photon nuclear phototagging approach optimized for on-demand and indelible labeling of single neurons via a photoactivatable red fluorescent protein following in vivo functional characterization in behaving mice is introduced.

Molecularly targetable cell types in mouse visual cortex have distinguishable prediction error responses

Single-cell transcriptomics of vomeronasal neuroepithelium reveals a differential endoplasmic reticulum environment amongst neuronal subtypes

Comparative analysis across two of the major neuronal subtypes that express divergent GPCR families and the G-protein subunits Gnai2 or Gnao1, reveals significantly higher expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated genes within Gnao1 neurons.

Neural basis for pheromone signal transduction in mice

This mini-review delineates the vomeronasal signal transduction pathway initiated by specific vomeronasal receptor-ligand interactions in mice and catalogs the previously identified pheromone ligands and their corresponding receptor pairs, providing a foundational understanding of the specificity inherent in pheromonal communication.

A method to analyze gene expression profiles from hippocampal neurons electrophysiologically recorded in vivo

It is demonstrated that the expression levels of a subset of genes in individual hippocampal pyramidal neurons were significantly correlated with their spike burstiness, submillisecond-level spike rise times or spike rates, directly measured by in vivo electrophysiological recordings.

Organization of Vomeronasal Sensory Coding Revealed by Fast Volumetric Calcium Imaging

OCPI microscopy was used to record chemosensory responses in the mouse vomeronasal epithelium, for which expression of hundreds of receptor types implies high functional diversity, and revealed new organizational principles.

Integration of electrophysiological recordings with single-cell RNA-seq data identifies novel neuronal subtypes

Labeling of active neural circuits in vivo with designed calcium integrators

A fluorescent sensor, CaMPARI, is designed that combines the genetic targetability and quantitative link to neural activity of GECIs with the permanent, large-scale labeling of IEGs, allowing a temporally precise “activity snapshot” of a large tissue volume.

Large-scale transcriptional profiling of chemosensory neurons identifies receptor-ligand pairs in vivo

It was found that odorants induced a fast and reversible concentration-dependent decrease in the transcription of genes corresponding to activated receptors in intact mice, and a large-scale transcriptomic approach was developed to uncover receptor-ligand pairs in vivo.
