The rapid and coordinated propagation of neural activity across the brain provides the
foundation for complex behavior and cognition. Technical advances across neuroscience …

Fear and anxiety play a central role in mammalian life, and there is considerable interest in
clarifying their nature, identifying their biological underpinnings, and determining their …

Nearly all psychiatric diseases involve alterations in subjective, lived experience. The
scientific study of the biological basis of mental illness has generally focused on objective …

Most animals live under constant threat from predators, and predation has been a major
selective force in shaping animal behaviour. Nevertheless, defence responses against …

Changes in an animal's behavior and internal state are accompanied by widespread
changes in activity across its brain. However, how neurons across the brain encode …

Fluctuations in brain and behavioral state are supported by broadly projecting
neuromodulatory systems. In this study, we use mesoscale two-photon calcium imaging to …

Motivated behaviors are often studied in isolation to assess labeled lines of neural
connections underlying innate actions. However, in nature, multiple systems compete for …

Although recent studies indicate the impact of microbes on the central nervous systems and
behavior, it remains unclear how the relationship between the functionality of the nervous …

The integration of external information with the internal state of the body is central to the
survival of virtually every multicellular organism. However, a complete picture of the …

During sensory-guided behavior, an animal's decision-making dynamics unfold through
sequences of distinct performance states, even while stimulus-reward contingencies remain …
