Over the past years, numerous methods have emerged to automate the quantification of
animal behavior at a resolution not previously imaginable. This has opened up a new field of …

The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical
advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important …

Internal states shape stimulus responses and decision-making, but we lack methods to
identify them. To address this gap, we developed an unsupervised method to identify …

Choosing a mate is one of the most consequential decisions a female will make during her
lifetime. A female fly signals her willingness to mate by opening her vaginal plates, allowing …

Perception of fear induced by others in danger elicits complex vicarious fear responses and
behavioral outputs. In rodents, observing a conspecific receive aversive stimuli leads to …

Genetic approaches in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have led to a major triumph in
the field of sensory biology—the discovery of multiple large families of sensory receptors …

Brain function is mediated by the physiological coordination of a vast, intricately connected
network of molecular and cellular components. The physiological properties of neural …

To analyse neuron data at scale, neuroscientists expend substantial effort reading
documentation, installing dependencies and moving between analysis and visualisation …

Motor systems implement diverse motor programs to pattern behavioral sequences, yet how
different motor actions are controlled on a moment-by-moment basis remains unclear. Here …

Defining the mechanisms by which animals adapt to their ecological niche is an important
problem bridging evolution, genetics, and neurobiology. We review the establishment of a …
