The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

The occurrence of neuroactive chemicals in the aquatic environment is on the rise and
poses a potential threat to aquatic biota of currently unpredictable outcome. In particular …

SNT is an end-to-end framework for neuronal morphometry and whole-brain connectomics
that supports tracing, proof-editing, visualization, quantification and modeling of …

Dense reconstruction of synaptic connectivity requires high-resolution electron microscopy
images of entire brains and tools to efficiently trace neuronal wires across the volume. To …

Efforts are ongoing to map synaptic wiring diagrams, or connectomes, to understand the
neural basis of brain function. However, chemical synapses represent only one type of …

The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) is a brain stem area whose stimulation triggers
graded forward locomotion. How MLR neurons recruit downstream vsx2+(V2a) …

Animals generate neural representations of their heading direction. Notably, in insects,
heading direction is topographically represented by the activity of neurons in the central …

The intestinal epithelium senses nutritional and microbial stimuli using epithelial sensory
enteroendocrine cells (EEC). EECs communicate nutritional information to the nervous …

Three-dimensional (3D) digital brain atlases and high-throughput brain-wide imaging
techniques generate large multidimensional datasets that can be registered to a common …

Until now, most brain studies have focused on small numbers of neurons that interact in
limited circuits, allowing analysis of individual computations or steps of neural processing …
