Robotics and neuroscience are sister disciplines that both aim to understand how agile,
efficient, and robust locomotion can be achieved in autonomous agents. Robotics has …

Life exists in three dimensions, but until the turn of the century most electron microscopy
methods provided only 2D image data. Recently, electron microscopy techniques capable of …

Neurons in the developing brain undergo extensive structural refinement as nascent circuits
adopt their mature form. This physical transformation of neurons is facilitated by the …

Knowing one's own behavioral state has long been theorized as critical for contextualizing
dynamic sensory cues and identifying appropriate future behaviors. Ascending neurons …

Volume electron microscopy (vEM) is a group of techniques that reveal the 3D ultrastructure
of cells and tissues through continuous depths of at least 1 micrometer. A burgeoning …

To understand the brain we must relate neurons' functional responses to the circuit
architecture that shapes them. Here, we present a large functional connectomics dataset …

Connections between neurons can be mapped by acquiring and analyzing electron
microscopic (EM) brain images. In recent years, this approach has been applied to chunks of …

The mammalian brain is a complex organ comprising neurons, glia, and more than 1× 1014
synapses. Neurons are a heterogeneous group of electrically active cells, which form the …

Across mammalian skin, structurally complex and diverse mechanosensory end organs
respond to mechanical stimuli and enable our perception of dynamic, light touch. How forces …

The cerebellum is thought to help detect and correct errors between intended and executed
commands, and is critical for social behaviours, cognition and emotion,,–. Computations for …
