Not so spontaneous: Multi-dimensional representations of behaviors and context in sensory areas
L Avitan, C Stringer - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
Sensory areas are spontaneously active in the absence of sensory stimuli. This
spontaneous activity has long been studied; however, its functional role remains largely …

The connectome of an insect brain
Brains contain networks of interconnected neurons and so knowing the network architecture
is essential for understanding brain function. We therefore mapped the synaptic-resolution …

Ascending neurons convey behavioral state to integrative sensory and action selection brain regions
Knowing one's own behavioral state has long been theorized as critical for contextualizing
dynamic sensory cues and identifying appropriate future behaviors. Ascending neurons …

Facemap: a framework for modeling neural activity based on orofacial tracking
Recent studies in mice have shown that orofacial behaviors drive a large fraction of neural
activity across the brain. To understand the nature and function of these signals, we need …

Overlapping representations of food and social stimuli in mouse VTA dopamine neurons
Dopamine neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA DA) respond to food and social
stimuli and contribute to both forms of motivation. However, it is unclear whether the same or …
