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

Until now, most brain studies have focused on small numbers of neurons that interact in
limited circuits, allowing analysis of individual computations or steps of neural processing …

Locomotion engages widely distributed networks of neurons. However, our understanding of
the spatial architecture and temporal dynamics of the networks that underpin walking …

Research on learning and memory formation at the level of neural networks, as well as at
the molecular level, is challenging due to the immense complexity of the brain. The zebrafish …

Astrocytes are present throughout the brain and intimately interact with neurons and blood
vessels. Three decades of research have shown that astrocytes reciprocally communicate …

Animals adapt their behaviors to their ever-changing needs. Internal states, such as hunger,
fear, stress, and arousal are important behavioral modulators controlling the way an …

The habenula (Hb) is a small structure of the posterior diencephalon that is highly conserved
across vertebrates but nonetheless has attracted relatively little research attention until the …

Movement and behavioral state influence perception, and a stimulus can elicit opposite
behavioral actions depending on whether the animal is moving toward or away from it. Here …

The integration of network science methods with neuroscience research has provided
valuable insights into the complex relationship between static network architecture and …

Animal behavior is strongly constrained by energy consumption. A natural manipulation
which provides insight into this constraint is development, where an animal must adapt its …
