  1. 🍬🐁 🧠 New paper by Gong et al: Larger rewards can make #mice learn much faster than standard low-reward protocols suggest.

    Across navigation, motor-skill & #DecisionMaking tasks, reward magnitude improved #learning efficiency by increasing learning rate, sustaining task engagement & helping carry improvements across sessions. Larger rewards also produced stronger, longer striatal #dopamine responses, & #optogenetic DA boosting reproduced part of the effect.

  14. Opto-RhoGEFs is an #optogenetic toolbox that can help researchers visualise and manipulate the barrier between endothelial cells like the ones in this clip. #12DaysOfeLife #Optogenetics elifesciences.org/articles/843

  15. Using a sophisticated #optogenetic approach, the researchers have discovered a previously unknown #endogenous acid sensor in #plant #cells. And they have discovered in the guard cells of leaves that there is a #calcium store that plays an important role in processing #proton signals in #cellular responses.

  16. To migrate efficiently, neutrophils must polarize their cytoskeletal regulators along a single axis of motion. @JasonPTown & @OWeinerLab use spatially-defined #optogenetic control of a leading edge organizer to explore how #neutrophil-like cells balance “decisiveness” (needed to polarize in one direction) with flexibility (to respond to new cues) #PLOSBiology plos.io/3ZAldnx

  17. How does the brain consider an animal's current actions when responding to its environment? @AndrewLeifer &co use high-throughput #optogenetic perturbations to show how motor-related signals influence a #nematode’s response to #TouchSensation. #PLOSBiology plos.io/455hWOh

  18. .@xanderjones82 &co describe Highlighter, an #optogenetic tool for fine-scale eukaryotic #GeneExpression control, and deploy it in #plants to enable cell-level hypothesis testing. @slcuplants @RobertoHofmann1 #PLOSBiology plos.io/3RvZvzh

  27. New #Neuroscience paper, with potential implications for the pyramidal-cell specificity of some #Optogenetic stimulations:

    “our results challenge the use of CaMKIIα promoter-driven protein expression as a selective tool in targeting cortical glutamatergic neurons using viral vectors”
