Computational models in neuroscience usually take the form of systems of differential
equations. The behaviour of such systems is the subject of dynamical systems theory …

Simultaneous recordings from hundreds or thousands of neurons are becoming routine
because of innovations in instrumentation, molecular tools, and data processing software …

Decisions are made with different degrees of consistency, and this consistency can be
linked to the confidence that the best choice has been made. Theoretical work suggests that …

Continuous attractors are an emergent property of neural population dynamics that have
been hypothesized to encode continuous variables such as head direction and eye …

Females exhibit complex, dynamic behaviours during mating with variable sexual receptivity
depending on hormonal status,,–. However, how their brains encode the dynamics of mating …

Internal states drive survival behaviors, but their neural implementation is poorly understood.
Recently, we identified a line attractor in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) that …

Neural substrates of wakefulness, rapid eye movement sleep (REMS), and non-REMS
(NREMS) in the mammalian hypothalamus overlap both anatomically and functionally with …

Sociosexual preference is critical for reproduction and survival. However, neural
mechanisms encoding social decisions on sex preference remain unclear. In this study, we …

Winning increases the readiness to attack and the probability of winning, a widespread
phenomenon known as the" winner effect." Here, we reveal a transition from target-specific …

Continuous attractors offer a unique class of solutions for storing continuous-valued
variables in recurrent system states for indefinitely long time intervals. Unfortunately …
