The neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown
how the two structures organize into functional networks to mediate specific behaviors. Here …

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 …

Central oscillators are primordial neural circuits that generate and control rhythmic
movements,. Mechanistic understanding of these circuits requires genetic identification of …

Feeding behavior involves a complex organization of neural circuitry and interconnected
pathways between the cortex, the brainstem, and muscles. Elevated synchronicity is …

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 …

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

The cortex influences movement by widespread top-down projections to many nervous
system regions. Skilled forelimb movements require brainstem circuitry in the medulla; …

Diverse neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PB) communicate with widespread brain
regions. Despite evidence linking them to a variety of homeostatic functions, it remains …

Phonation critically depends on precise controls of laryngeal muscles in coordination with
ongoing respiration. However, the neural mechanisms governing these processes remain …

It has long been known that orofacial movements for feeding can be triggered, coordinated,
and often rhythmically organized at the level of the brainstem, without input from higher …
