A deep learning-based system objectively and reliably scores the Rey–Osterrieth complex figure test, enhancing the assessment of visual memory deficits from hand-drawn images in clinical settings.
While monitoring neuronal activity in freely moving Drosophila is challenging, HI-FISH enables brain-wide mapping of active neurons and reveals behavior-specific neural activity.

Patch-walking is a novel automated patch clamp approach for finding synaptic connections in brain tissue, yielding 80–92% more probed connections than traditional approaches.
A novel pair of isobaric crosslinking reagents is described, which allow relative quantification of crosslinker-modified peptides during mass spectrometry analysis for comparative structural studies of proteins and protein complexes.
Adding suppressors of spontaneous differentiation enables precise control of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) status in suspension culture conditions and leads to scalable and automated cell therapy using hiPSCs.

A novel method of electrical stimulation to precisely control neural activity for sensory restoration exhibits improvements in visual stimulus reconstruction, enables efficient hardware design, and extends to naturalistic conditions.
Quantitative models for responses of rod and cone photoreceptors are developed that allow direct tests of the impact of the photoreceptors on responses of downstream visual neurons.
