This is a nice summary of recent studies on dendritic excitability in vivo.
I concur with Andrew's skepticism.
I started a company! Luminos.
We made a complete neuro-electronic interface: stimulate and record from any set of neurons in any pattern of space and time, over a 6 mm field of view.
Also useful for optical pooled screens and structured illumination live-tissue imaging.

Beautiful work, well described.
1/10 When the going gets tough, the dendrites get going. Here is a summary on our new paper just published in @science.org on flexible learning in frontal motor cortex. With @mattlark.bsky.social 🔬. #neuroskyence #neuroscience
🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scie...
Flexible learning relies on integrating sensory and contextual information to adjust behavioral output in different environments. The anterolateral motor cortex (ALM) is a frontal area critical for ac...
Super cool, can't wait to see what folks do with this next! Lots of good detail in the 🧵

In this new blog post, I review some several recent studies on dendritic voltage and calcium imaging in hippocampus: gcamp6f.com/2026/05/19/d...
Great work by @bhlee1117.bsky.social, Xiang Wu, @adamezracohen.bsky.social, Attila Losonczy, Balazs Rosza, Kevin Gonzalez, and others!
I've been getting questions about this paper all week:

They make EXTRAORDINARY claims - fortunately, these are trivial to verify/falsify.
Unfortunately, there's other concerns.

Dendrites are the tree-like arborizations of neurons through which they receive input from other neurons. This compartmentalized anatomy has given rise to the idea that individual dendrites process…

Meet MagLuc: a magnetically-controlled luminescent protein.
This is a foundational tool for remote control of biological processes, also known as "magnetogenetics".
Can you tell when the magnetic field turns on and off?
