Large-scale neural recordings call for new insights to link brain and behavior

AE Urai, B Doiron, AM Leifer, AK Churchland - Nature neuroscience, 2022 - nature.com
Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are
facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …

[PDF][PDF] Computational neuroethology: a call to action

SR Datta, DJ Anderson, K Branson, P Perona, A Leifer - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical
advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important …

Optogenetic manipulation of neural activity in C. elegans: From synapse to circuits and behaviour

SJ Husson, A Gottschalk, AM Leifer - Biology of the Cell, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The emerging field of optogenetics allows for optical activation or inhibition of excitable cells.
