Animal behavior is shaped by a variety of" internal states"—partially hidden variables that
profoundly shape perception, cognition, and action. The neural basis of internal states, such …

Behavioral flexibility is critical to survival. Animals must adapt their behavioral responses
based on changes in the environmental context, internal state, or experience. Studies in …

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 …

The representation of contextual information peripheral to a salient stimulus is central to an
animal's ability to correctly interpret and flexibly respond to that stimulus. While the …

The way in which photons travel through biological tissues and subsequently become
scattered or absorbed is a key limitation for traditional optical medical imaging techniques …

Sustained changes in mood or action require persistent changes in neural activity, but it has
been difficult to identify the neural circuit mechanisms that underlie persistent activity and …

In Drosophila, a dedicated olfactory channel senses a male pheromone, cis-vaccenyl
acetate (cVA), promoting female courtship while repelling males. Here, we show that …

The diversity and dense interconnectivity of cells in the nervous system present a huge
challenge to understanding how brains work. Recent progress toward such understanding …

Bioelectrical signal is the basis of the rapidly growing field of physiological activity research,
clinical diagnosis, therapeutic applications and neural science. However, current …

Task-related information is widely distributed across the brain with different coding
properties, such as persistency. We found in mice that coding persistency of action history …
