The role of the cerebral cortex in self-initiated versus sensory-driven movements is central to understanding volitional action. Whether the differences in these two movement classes are …
The ability to act voluntarily is fundamental to animal behavior,,,,. For example, self-directed movements are critical to exploration, particularly in the absence of external sensory signals …

Neural population activity often exhibits distinct dynamical features across time, which may correspond to distinct internal processes or behavior. Linear methods and variations thereof …
Complex behaviors like navigation rely on sequenced motor outputs that combine to generate effective movement. The brain-wide organization of the circuits that integrate …
The capacity to initiate actions endogenously is critical for goal-directed behavior. Spontaneous voluntary actions are typically preceded by slow-ramping activity in medial …
Y Sych, F Helmchen - Awake Behaving Mesoscopic Brain Imaging, 2024 - Springer
Animal behavior is governed by brain activity distributed and coordinated across multiple regions. Parallel progress in optical microscopy and the development of genetically …
Behavioral neuroscience aims to provide a connection between neural phenomena and emergent organism-level behaviors. This requires perturbing the nervous system and …
Mesoscale imaging of calcium dynamics has emerged as a powerful technique to study the coordination of activity of multiple cortical regions simultaneously during awake behavior …
Freely timed actions are typically preceded by a slow anticipatory buildup of cortical brain activity, which has been extensively studied. However, such free actions are also preceded …
