Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are
facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …

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 breadth and complexity of natural behaviors inspires awe. Understanding how our
perceptions, actions, and internal thoughts arise from evolved circuits in the brain has …

Real-world environments are typically dynamic, complex, and multisensory in nature and
require the support of top–down attention and memory mechanisms for us to be able to drive …

Decisions that favor one's own interest versus the interest of another individual depend on
context and the relationships between individuals. The neurobiology underlying selfish …

Recent studies have demonstrated prominent and widespread movement-related signals in
the brain of head-fixed mice, even in primary sensory areas. However, it is still unknown …

A classic view of the striatum holds that activity in direct and indirect pathways oppositely
modulates motor output. Whether this involves direct control of movement, or reflects a …

The advent of high-yield electrophysiology using Neuropixels probes is now enabling
researchers to simultaneously record hundreds of neurons with remarkably high signal to …

Different rat and mouse models are used in studies of social interactions. Simple behavioral
measures, which are commonly used in the laboratory, allow to perform relatively short …

Breakthroughs in understanding the neural basis of natural behavior require neural
recording and intervention to be paired with high-fidelity multimodal behavioral monitoring …
