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 …

Sniffing and whisking are two rhythmic orofacial motor activities that enable rodents to
localize and track objects in their environment. They have related temporal dynamics …

The hippocampus is thought to have a critical role in episodic memory by incorporating the
sensory input of an experience onto a spatial framework embodied by place cells. Although …

Animals constantly update their body posture to meet behavioral demands, but little is
known about the neural signals on which this depends. We therefore tracked freely foraging …

Path integration is a straightforward concept with varied connotations that are important to
different disciplines concerned with navigation, such as ethology, cognitive science, robotics …

The establishment of robust and replicable behavioural testing paradigms with translational
value for psychiatric diseases is a major step forward in developing and testing etiology …

Background Repetitive action, resistance to environmental change and fine motor
disruptions are hallmarks of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental …

Exploration of novel environments ensures survival and evolutionary fitness. It is expressed
through exploratory bouts and arrests that change dynamically based on experience. Neural …

To understand how complex, or 'advanced'various forms of cognition are, and to compare
them between species for evolutionary studies, we need to understand the diversity of …

Quantitative analysis of animal behaviour in model organisms is becoming an increasingly
essential approach for tackling the great challenge of understanding how activity in the brain …
