Abstract: Electrostimulating waveforms offering simultaneous and controllable cell-type-specific entrainment are described. The waveforms selectively entrain excitatory versus inhibitory cortical and hippocampal neurons including pyramidal neurons, parvalbumin neurons, and somatostatin neurons. The embodiment provides targeted electrical stimulation (ES) entrainment of excitatory versus inhibitory neurons. For example, the current disclosure provides methods of selectively entraining excitatory neurons with ES frequencies below 30 Hertz (Hz) and in particular embodiments to frequencies below 15 Hz, such as 8 Hz and 4 Hz. The current disclosure also provides methods of selectively entraining inhibitory neurons to ES frequencies of at least 30 Hz and depending on the type of inhibitory neuron, utilizing a frequency that is 30-60 Hz or a frequency that is greater than 100 Hz.

Abstract: The invention provides novel formulations comprising a stable inclusion complex of tributyrin and a cyclodextrin. In one particular embodiment, the formulation comprises an oven dried inclusion complex of tributyrin and ?-cyclodextrin that is effective in minimizing or preventing the unpleasant taste and odor of tributyrin, thus making it suitable for oral administration and delivery to the digestive tract and intestines. The invention provides compositions of these inclusion complexes and methods of using them that are advantageous as food, medicinal and other products, where the negative sensory properties of tributyrin can be a liability.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include compositions, devices, systems and methods for optogenetic modulation of action potentials in target cells.
