Highlights•The interplay of neuronal recordings and network models is becoming ever
stronger.•Population activity structure provides common ground for incisive comparisons.• …

In natural visually guided behavior, observers must separate relevant information from a
barrage of irrelevant information. Many studies have investigated the neural underpinnings …

Our knowledge about neuronal activity in the sensorimotor cortex relies primarily on
stereotyped movements that are strictly controlled in experimental settings. It remains …

It has been proposed that the nervous system has the capacity to generate a wide variety of
movements because it reuses some invariant code. Previous work has identified that …

Optimal decision-making relies on interconnected frontal brain regions, which permit
animals to adapt their decisions based on their internal state, experience, and …

Despite numerous studies, there is little agreement about what brain changes accompany
motor sequence learning, partly because of a general publication bias that favors novel …

Imaging techniques like in vivo calcium imaging are gradually replacing electrophysiological
techniques to investigate the neural mechanism of motor control. Through multi-photon …
