The selection and execution of context-appropriate behaviors is controlled by the integrated
action of neural circuits throughout the brain. However, how activity is coordinated across …

The brain constantly compares past and present experiences to predict the future, thereby
enabling instantaneous and future behavioral adjustments. Integration of external …

What are the spatial and temporal scales of brainwide neuronal activity? We used swept,
confocally-aligned planar excitation (SCAPE) microscopy to image all cells in a large …

Locomotion engages widely distributed networks of neurons. However, our understanding of
the spatial architecture and temporal dynamics of the networks that underpin walking …

Animals form a behavioral decision by evaluating sensory evidence on the background of
past experiences and the momentary motivational state. In insects, we still lack …

To convert intentions into actions, movement instructions must pass from the brain to
downstream motor circuits through descending neurons (DNs). These include small sets of …

The descending neurons connecting the fly's brain to its ventral nerve cord respond to
sensory stimuli and evoke motor programs of varying complexity. Anatomical …

The body of an animal determines how the nervous system produces behavior. Therefore,
detailed modeling of the neural control of sensorimotor behavior requires a detailed model …

Walking is a complex motor program involving coordinated and distributed activity across
the brain and the spinal cord. Halting appropriately at the correct time is a critical but often …

The heterogeneity of brain imaging methods in neuroscience provides rich data that cannot
be captured by a single technique, and our interpretations benefit from approaches that …
