The execution and learning of diverse movements involve neuronal networks distributed
throughout the nervous system. The brainstem and basal ganglia are key for processing …

The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …

Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-
specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these …

Humans detect skin temperature changes that are perceived as warm or cool. Like humans,
mice report forepaw skin warming with perceptual thresholds of less than 1° C and do not …

Behavior relies on activity in structured neural circuits that are distributed across the brain,
but most experiments probe neurons in a single area at a time. Using multiple Neuropixels …

Behavioral states can influence performance of goal-directed sensorimotor tasks. Yet, it is
unclear how altered neuronal sensory representations in these states relate to task …

The brain generates complex sequences of movements that can be flexibly configured
based on behavioural context or real-time sensory feedback, but how this occurs is not fully …

The claustrum, a subcortical nucleus forming extensive connections with the neocortex, has
been implicated in sensory selection. Sensory-evoked claustrum activity is thought to …

Action selection occurs through competition between potential choice options. Neural
correlates of choice competition are observed across frontal cortex and downstream …

Learning of adaptive behaviors requires the refinement of coordinated activity across
multiple brain regions. However, how neural communications develop during learning …
