Lipinski et al. published their study on adult neuron identity recently! A NeuroNexus 32-channel linear array with 50um site spacing (approx 1.5mm recording span) was used to record simultaneously from the CA1 and dentate gyrus in mutant mice with an inducible genetic mutation to delete two transcriptional co-activators. Across acute multi-channel recordings, drops in activity were observed within 2 weeks of genetic ablation.

Viejo and Peyrache took advantage of NeuroNexus 8-shank polytrodes to sample from multiple sub-nuclei in the anterior thalamus in awake behaving mice. They were able to identify head direction (HD) cells in the AD nucleus and characterize firing rates and burstiness of HD and non-HD cells. Results demonstrated that AD HD cells specifically increase gain and coherence during hippocampal sharp wave ripples.

This collaboration between the Dietmar Schmitz and Gyorgy Buzsaki labs utilized 32-channel and 256-channel multi-shank NeuroNexus probes and optoelectrodes. The geometry of the probes enabled positioning shanks in the mouse hippocampus/dentate gyrus, subiculum and granular retrosplenial cortex simultaneously. Through acute electrophysiology and optogenetic manipulation, this team defined a pathway by which sharp wave ripples communicate from the hippocampus to cortex.
