Flexibly selecting appropriate actions in response to complex, ever-changing environments
requires both cortical and subcortical regions, which are typically described as participating …

Sensory processing is a complex neurological process that receives, integrates, and
responds to information from one's own body and environment, which is closely related to …

Learning of adaptive behaviors requires the refinement of coordinated activity across
multiple brain regions. However, how neural communications develop during learning …

Across a range of motor and cognitive tasks, cortical activity can be accurately described by
low-dimensional dynamics unfolding from specific initial conditions on every trial. These" …

The role of parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in vascular control is poorly understood. Here, we
investigated the hemodynamic responses elicited by optogenetic stimulation of PV …

Microglia are important for brain homeostasis and immunity, but their role in regulating
vigilance remains unclear. We employed genetic, physiological, and metabolomic methods …

Whole-brain imaging has become an increasingly important approach to investigate neural
structures, such as somata distribution, dendritic morphology, and axonal projection …

To further advance functional MRI (fMRI)–based brain science, it is critical to dissect fMRI
activity at the circuit level. To achieve this goal, we combined brain-wide fMRI with neuronal …

Persistent activity underlying short-term memory encodes sensory information or instructs
specific future movement and, consequently, has a crucial role in cognition. Despite …

The study of neural circuits, which underlies perception, cognition, emotion, and behavior, is
essential for understanding the mammalian brain, a complex organ consisting of billions of …
