Previous studies suggest that the brain operates at a critical point in which phases of order
and disorder coexist, producing emergent patterned dynamics at all scales and optimizing …

The development of new imaging and optogenetics techniques to study the dynamics of
large neuronal circuits is generating datasets of unprecedented volume and complexity, …

Spontaneous neuronal activity is spatiotemporally structured, influencing brain computations.
Nevertheless, the neuronal interactions underlying these spontaneous activity patterns, …

Organisms use their sensory systems to acquire information from their environment and
integrate this information to produce relevant behaviors. Nevertheless, how sensory information …

Zebrafish larva is a unique model for whole-brain functional imaging and to study sensory-motor
integration in the vertebrate brain. To take full advantage of this system, one needs to …

From development up to adulthood, the vertebrate brain is continuously supplied with
newborn neurons that integrate into established mature circuits. However, how this process is …

Following moving visual stimuli (conditioning stimuli, CS), many organisms perceive, in the
absence of physical stimuli, illusory motion in the opposite direction. This phenomenon is …

Animals continuously rely on sensory feedback to adjust motor commands. In order to study
the role of visual feedback in goal-driven navigation, we developed a 2D visual virtual reality …

Taste buds are sensory organs in jawed vertebrates, composed of distinct cell types that
detect and transduce specific taste qualities. Taste bud cells differentiate from oropharyngeal …

The concept of the neurovascular unit (NVU), formalized at the 2001 Stroke Progress Review
Group meeting of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, emphasizes …
