Journal ArticleDOI

Tsai Wen Chen,Trevor J. Wardill,Trevor J. Wardill,Yi Sun,Stefan R. Pulver,Sabine L. Renninger,Amy Baohan,Amy Baohan,Eric R. Schreiter,Rex Kerr,Michael B. Orger,Vivek Jayaraman,Loren L. Looger,Karel Svoboda,Douglas S. Kim +14 more
TL;DR: A family of ultrasensitive protein calcium sensors (GCaMP6) that outperformed other sensors in cultured neurons and in zebrafish, flies and mice in vivo are developed and provide new windows into the organization and dynamics of neural circuits over multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Independent optical excitation of distinct neural populations

Carpenter,Zhijian Tian,Jun Wang,Yinlong Xie,Zhixiang Yan,Yong Zhang,Brian Y. Chow,Barbara Surek,Michael Melkonian,Vivek Jayaraman,Martha Constantine-Paton,Gane Ka-Shu Wong,Edward S. Boyden +20 more
TL;DR: Two channelrhodopsins, Chronos and Chrimson, are described, discovered through sequencing and physiological characterization of opsins from over 100 species of alga, that enable two-color activation of neural spiking and downstream synaptic transmission in independent neural populations without detectable cross-talk in mouse brain slice.

TL;DR: Chronos and Chrimson as mentioned in this paper have been shown to enable two-color activation of neural spiking and downstream synaptic transmission in independent neural populations without detectable cross-talk in mouse brain slice.
Journal ArticleDOI
An internal thermal sensor controlling temperature preference in Drosophila
Fumika N. Hamada,Margaret Rosenzweig,KyeongJin Kang,Stefan R. Pulver,Alfredo Ghezzi,Timothy Jegla,Paul A. Garrity +6 more
TL;DR: Flys select a preferred temperature by using a thermal sensing pathway tuned to trigger avoidance of temperatures that deviate even slightly from the preferred temperature, which provides a potentially general strategy for robustly selecting a narrow temperature range optimal for survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Red, single-wavelength GECIs, “RCaMPs,” engineered from circular permutation of the thermostable red fluorescent protein mRuby are described and 2-color calcium imaging is demonstrated both within the same cell (registering mitochondrial and somatic [Ca2+]) and between two populations of cells: neurons and astrocytes.
