Here is a quick list of papers Brain Windows will be covering in greater depth the next two weeks.

The subcellular organization of neocortical excitatory connections : A new technique, subcellular ChR2-assisted circuit mapping (sCRACM), is used to map neuronal circuitry.  

A genetically encoded fluorescent reporter of ATP:ADP ratio : A new single-FP indicator that reports the relative concentration of ATP to ADP in a cells. 

A bright and photostable photoconvertible fluorescent protein : Evolution of monomeric Eos into a fluorescent protein with better properties for super-resolution imaging.

Photoactivatable mCherry for high-resolution two-color fluorescence microscopy : Evolution of mCherry into a photoactivatable fluorescent protein with better properties for super-resolution imaging.

Multilayer three-dimensional super resolution imaging of thick biological samples : Advanced laser pulse shaping techniques to achieve super-resolution imaging in thick samples.
