One of the most audacious goals of modern neuroscience is unraveling the complex web of
causal relations underlying the activity of neuronal populations on a whole-brain scale. This …

In brain activity mapping with optogenetics, patterned illumination is crucial for targeted
neural stimulation. However, due to optical scattering in brain tissue, light-emitting implants …

Large-scale cortical dynamics play a crucial role in many cognitive functions such as goal-
directed behaviors, motor learning and sensory processing. It is well established that brain …

In this chapter, we consider visuomotor behaviors in a broad sense as trained or natural
motor actions based on external visual information. These behaviors are deemed as …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of human disability, and understanding its
spontaneous recovery pattern after injury is critical for potential treatments. However, studies …

Deciphering the neural code underlying goal-directed behavior is a long-term mission in
neuroscience,. Neurons exhibiting preparation and movement-related activity are …

The development of novel techniques to record wide-field brain activity enables estimation
