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 …

The neuroscience community has witnessed a tremendous expansion of glia research. Glial
cells are now on center stage with leading roles in the development, maturation, and …

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 …

To make appropriate decisions, animals need to accumulate sensory evidence. Simple
integrator models can explain many aspects of such behavior, but how the underlying …

Nervous systems have evolved to combine environmental information with internal state to
select and generate adaptive behavioral sequences. To better understand these …

Thermoregulation is critical for survival and animals therefore employ strategies to keep their
body temperature within a physiological range. As ectotherms, fish exclusively rely on …

Locomotor behaviors are critical for survival and enable animals to navigate their
environment, find food and evade predators. The circuits in the brain and spinal cord that …

The hypothalamus is composed of many neuropeptidergic cell populations and directs
multiple survival behaviors, including defensive responses to threats. However, the …

Two-photon microscopy is widely used to investigate brain function across multiple spatial
scales. However, measurements of neural activity are compromised by brain movement in …

Thermosensation is critical for avoiding thermal extremes and regulating body temperature.
While thermosensors activated by noxious temperatures respond to hot or cold, many …
