Base editing is a powerful CRISPR-based technology for introducing precise substitutions
into the genome. This technology greatly advances mutagenesis possibilities in vivo …

Visual stimuli can evoke complex behavioral responses, but the underlying streams of
neural activity in mammalian brains are difficult to follow because of their size. Here, I review …

Reconstructing the evolution of brain information-processing capacity is paramount for
understanding the rise of complex cognition. Comparative studies of brain evolution typically …

Due to the size and opacity of vertebrate brains, it has until now been impossible to
simultaneously record neuronal activity at cellular resolution across the entire adult brain. As …

Thermoregulation is critical for survival and animals therefore employ strategies to keep their
body temperature within a physiological range. As ectotherms, fish exclusively rely on …

The collective behavior of animal groups emerges from the interactions among individuals.
These social interactions produce the coordinated movements of bird flocks and fish …

Motion is the basis of nearly all animal behavior. Evolution has led to some extraordinary
specializations of propulsion mechanisms among invertebrates, including the mandibles of …

Neurons are the basic computational units of the brain, but brain size is the predominant
surrogate measure of brain functional capacity in comparative and cognitive neuroscience …

Virtual realities are powerful tools to analyze and manipulate interactions between animals
and their environment and to enable measurements of neuronal activity during behavior. In …

Integrative studies of diverse neuronal networks that govern social behavior are hindered by
a lack of methods to record neural activity comprehensively across the entire brain. The …
