Advances in fluorescence microscopy enable monitoring larger brain areas in-vivo with finer
time resolution. The resulting data rates require reproducible analysis pipelines that are …

Animals and humans continuously engage in small, spontaneous motor actions, such as
blinking, whisking, and postural adjustments (“fidgeting”). These movements are …

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 …

Manual restriction of head movement, or head-fixation, of awake rodents allows for
sophisticated investigation of neural circuits in vivo, that would otherwise be impossible in …

Neuroscience has traditionally relied on manually observing laboratory animals in controlled
environments. Researchers usually record animals behaving freely or in a restrained …

Dendritic spines are postsynaptic domains that shape structural and functional properties of
neurons. Upon neuronal activity, Ca2+ transients trigger signaling cascades that determine …

Computer vision approaches have made significant inroads into offline tracking of behavior
and estimating animal poses. In particular, because of their versatility, deep-learning …

There have been several reports that individuals with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and animal
models of FXS have communication deficits. The present study utilized two different call …

Introduction Obese rodents eg, the leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mouse exhibit remarkable
behavioral changes and are therefore ideal models for evaluating mental disorders resulting …

Recently, there has been increased interest in the role of the cerebellum in autism spectrum
disorder (ASD). To better understand the pathophysiological role of the cerebellum in ASD, it …
