We engineered light-gated channelrhodopsins (ChRs) whose current strength and light sensitivity enable minimally invasive neuronal circuit interrogation. Current ChR tools applied to the mammalian brain require intracranial surgery for transgene deli...
We present an Unsupervised Domain Adaptation strategy to compensate for domain shifts on Electron Microscopy volumes. Our method aggregates visual correspondences-motifs that are visually similar across different acquisitions-to infer changes on the ...

Single-cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq), an advanced sequencing technique, enables biomedical researchers to characterize cell-specific gene expression profiles. Although studies have adapted machine learning algorithms to cluster different cell popul...
Neural activity throughout the cortex is correlated with perceptual decisions, but inactivation studies suggest that only a small number of areas are necessary for these behaviors. Here we show that the number of required cortical areas and their dyn...
In vitro assays and simulation technologies are powerful methodologies that can inform scientists of nanomaterial (NM) distribution and fate in humans or pre-clinical species. For small molecules, less animal data is often needed because there are a ...
Dopamine has a major behavioral impact related to drug dependence, learning and memory functions, as well as pathologies such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Phasic release of dopamine can be measured in vivo with fast-scan cyclic voltammet...

The analysis of cell mitotic behavior plays important role in many biomedical research and medical diagnostic applications. To improve the accuracy of mitosis detection in automated analysis systems, this paper proposes the sequential saliency guided...
Highly specific Cas9 nucleases derived from SpCas9 are valuable tools for genome editing, but their wide applications are hampered by a lack of knowledge governing guide RNA (gRNA) activity. Here, we perform a genome-scale screen to measure gRNA acti...
Dual-tracer positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising technique to measure the distribution of two tracers in the body by a single scan, which can improve the clinical accuracy of disease diagnosis and can also serve as a research tool for sc...
