Over the past years, numerous methods have emerged to automate the quantification of
animal behavior at a resolution not previously imaginable. This has opened up a new field of …

The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical
advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important …

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

Due to advances in automated image acquisition and analysis, whole-brain connectomes
with 100,000 or more neurons are on the horizon. Proofreading of whole-brain automated …

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

Internal states shape stimulus responses and decision-making, but we lack methods to
identify them. To address this gap, we developed an unsupervised method to identify …

The need for high-throughput, precise, and meaningful methods for measuring behavior has
been amplified by our recent successes in measuring and manipulating neural circuitry. The …

During courtship males attract females with elaborate behaviors. In mice, these displays
include ultrasonic vocalizations. Ultrasonic courtship vocalizations were previously …

Communication plays an integral role in human social dynamics and is impaired in several
neurodevelopmental disorders. Mice are used to study the neurobiology of social behavior; …

In the past few years, advances in machine learning have fueled an explosive growth of
descriptive and generative models of animal behavior. These new approaches offer higher …
