From 621,733 neurons recorded with 699 Neuropixels probes across 139 mice in 12 labs, we show that task signals—visual, choice, movement, prior—are distributed widely across the brain.
I hope these results inspire future projects. The data are public!

It may take less than 5 years. That technology is just more complex and takes longer to produce than standard Npx probes.

These probes let us evoke activity in neurons near the emitter sites, enabling spatial and temporal control across different depths of the mouse cortex.

Some snippets of results: we successfully triggered activity in excitatory neurons expressing the red-shifted opsin ChRmine with both long and short light pulses. We show that the probes can be used for precise activation, identification, and manipulation of neuronal populations!
