The brain plans and executes volitional movements. The underlying patterns of neural
population activity have been explored in the context of movements of the eyes, limbs …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a conserved midbrain structure that is important for
transforming visual and other sensory information into motor actions. Decades of …

Perceptual decisions rely on learned associations between sensory evidence and
appropriate actions, involving the filtering and integration of relevant inputs to prepare and …

Understanding how cortical circuits generate complex behavior requires investigating the
cell types that comprise them. Functional differences across pyramidal neuron (PyN) types …

Behavior relies on activity in structured neural circuits that are distributed across the brain,
but most experiments probe neurons in a single area at a time. Using multiple Neuropixels …

Action selection occurs through competition between potential choice options. Neural
correlates of choice competition are observed across frontal cortex and downstream …

Executive function is susceptible to aging. How aging impacts the circuit-level computations
underlying executive function remains unclear. Using calcium imaging and optogenetic …

The posterior dorsal striatum (pDS) plays an essential role in sensory-guided decision-
making. However, it remains unclear how the antagonizing direct-and indirect-pathway …

Correlates of sensory stimuli and motor actions are found in multiple cortical areas, but such
correlates do not indicate whether these areas are causally relevant to task performance …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a highly conserved area of the mammalian midbrain that is
widely implicated in the organisation and control of behaviour. SC receives input from a …
