Unravelling the functional operation of neuronal networks and linking cellular activity to
specific behavioural outcomes are among the biggest challenges in neuroscience. In this …

Obesity and diabetes now considered global epidemics. The prevalence rates of diabetes
are increasing in parallel with the rates of obesity and the strong connection between these …

Neurophysiology has long progressed through exploratory experiments and chance
discoveries. Anecdotes abound of researchers listening to spikes in real time and noticing …

The zebrafish model is the only available high-throughput vertebrate assessment system,
and it is uniquely suited for studies of in vivo cell biology. A sequenced and annotated …

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 …

Simultaneous recordings of large populations of neurons in behaving animals allow detailed
observation of high-dimensional, complex brain activity. However, experimental approaches …

How do we understand neuronal signaling in the brain, how neurons control behavior, or
how signaling malfunctions during disease? Neuroscientists might take two approaches …

Selective attention refers to the ability to restrict neural processing and behavioral responses
to a relevant subset of available stimuli, while simultaneously excluding other valid stimuli …

Animals continuously gather sensory cues to move towards favourable environments.
Efficient goal-directed navigation requires sensory perception and motor commands to be …

Collective behavior, such as shoaling in teleost fish, is driven by the perceptual recognition
of conspecific animals. Because social interactions are mutual, it has been difficult to …
