Over the past years, numerous methods have emerged to automate the quantification of
animal behavior at a resolution not previously imaginable. This has opened up a new field of …

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 …

Abstract Knowledge of connectivity in the nervous system is essential to understanding its
function. Here we describe connectomes for both adult sexes of the nematode …

Comprehensive descriptions of animal behavior require precise three-dimensional (3D)
measurements of whole-body movements. Although two-dimensional approaches can track …

A central goal of artificial intelligence in high-stakes decision-making applications is to
design a single algorithm that simultaneously expresses generalizability by learning …

Complex animal behaviors are likely built from simpler modules, but their systematic
identification in mammals remains a significant challenge. Here we use depth imaging to …

While isolated motor actions can be correlated with activities of neuronal networks, an
unresolved problem is how the brain assembles these activities into organized behaviors …

Optogenetic manipulation of neuronal activity through excitatory and inhibitory opsins has
become an indispensable experimental strategy in neuroscience research. For many …

Studying naturalistic animal behavior remains a difficult objective. Recent machine learning
advances have enabled limb localization; however, extracting behaviors requires …

Recent studies on the controllability of complex systems offer a powerful mathematical
framework to systematically explore the structure–function relationship in biological, social …
