While animals swim, crawl, walk, and fly with apparent ease, building robots capable of
robust locomotion remains a significant challenge. In this review, we draw attention to …

Deciphering how the brain regulates motor circuits to control complex behaviors is an
important, long-standing challenge in neuroscience. In the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, this …

Like the vertebrate spinal cord, the insect ventral nerve cord (VNC) mediates limb sensation
and motor control. Here, we applied automated tools for electron microscopy (EM) volume …

The dynamics and connectivity of neural circuits continuously change on timescales ranging
from milliseconds to an animal's lifetime. Therefore, to understand biological networks …

Natural behaviors are a coordinated symphony of motor acts that drive reafferent (self-
induced) sensory activation. Individual sensors cannot disambiguate exafferent (externally …

Decision making is a fundamental nervous system function that ranges widely in complexity
and speed of execution. We previously established larval zebrafish as a model for …

Natural behaviors are a coordinated symphony of motor acts which drive self-induced or
reafferent sensory activation. Single sensors only signal presence and magnitude of a …

Movement and behavioral state influence perception, and a stimulus can elicit opposite
behavioral actions depending on whether the animal is moving toward or away from it. Here …

Communication is multi-modal–when we interact, we speak, gesticulate, and touch.
However, the neural computations and circuits that select and coordinate these …
