Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

Animal behavior is shaped by a variety of" internal states"—partially hidden variables that
profoundly shape perception, cognition, and action. The neural basis of internal states, such …

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 …

The paradigm‐changing opportunities of biologging sensors for ecological research,
especially movement ecology, are vast, but the crucial questions of how best to match the …

Experimental efforts to understand how the brain represents, stores and processes
information require high-fidelity recordings of multiple different forms of neural activity within …

The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) is a brain stem area whose stimulation triggers
graded forward locomotion. How MLR neurons recruit downstream vsx2+(V2a) …

When a behavior repeatedly fails to achieve its goal, animals often give up and become
passive, which can be strategic for preserving energy or regrouping between attempts. It is …

Brains comprise complex networks of neurons and connections, similar to the nodes and
edges of artificial networks. Network analysis applied to the wiring diagrams of brains can …

An important concept in ethology is that complex behaviors can be constructed from a set of
basic motor patterns. Identifying the set of patterns available to an animal is key to making …

Detailed descriptions of brain-scale sensorimotor circuits underlying vertebrate behavior
remain elusive. Recent advances in zebrafish neuroscience offer new opportunities to …
