A great challenge in neuroscience is understanding how activity in the brain gives rise to
behavior. The zebrafish is an ideal vertebrate model to address this challenge, thanks to the …

Escape is one of the most studied animal behaviors, and there is a rich normative theory that
links threat properties to evasive actions and their timing. The behavioral principles of …

Summary Cortical layer 1 (L1) interneurons have been proposed as a hub for attentional
modulation of underlying cortex, but the transformations that this circuit implements are not …

Calcium imaging with cellular resolution typically requires an animal to be tethered under a
microscope, which substantially restricts the range of behaviors that can be studied. To …

The flexibility of locomotor movements requires an accurate control of their start, duration,
and speed. How brainstem circuits encode and convey these locomotor parameters remains …

Inhibitory interactions between opponent neuronal pathways constitute a common circuit
motif across brain areas and species. However, in most cases, synaptic wiring and …

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 …

Our movements and actions stem from complex processes in the central nervous system.
Precise adaptation of locomotor movements is essential for effectively interacting with the …

Locomotor behaviors are critical for survival and enable animals to navigate their
environment, find food and evade predators. The circuits in the brain and spinal cord that …

The posterior parietal cortex exhibits choice-selective activity during perceptual decision-
making tasks,,,,,,,,–. However, it is not known how this selective activity arises from the …
