Brain function relies on communication between large populations of neurons across
multiple brain areas, a full understanding of which would require knowledge of the time-varying …

A fundamental question in neuroscience is how entire neural circuits generate behaviour
and adapt it to changes in sensory feedback. Here we use two-photon calcium imaging to …

Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria found in the reproductive tissue of all major groups of
arthropods 1 , 2 . They are transmitted vertically from the female hosts to their offspring, in a …

Calcium imaging with cellular resolution typically requires an animal to be tethered under a
microscope, which substantially restricts the range of behaviors that can be studied. To …

The brain has persistent internal states that can modulate every aspect of an animal’s mental
experience 1 , 2 , 3 – 4 . In complex tasks such as foraging, the internal state is dynamic 5 , …

Background Although adult vertebrates sense changes in head position by using two classes
of accelerometer, at larval stages zebrafish lack functional semicircular canals and rely …

The Mauthner cell (M-cell) is a command-like neuron in teleost fish whose firing in response
to aversive stimuli is correlated with short-latency escapes [1–3]. M-cells have been …

Multiple scattering and absorption limit the depth at which biological tissues can be imaged
with light. In thick unlabeled specimens, multiple scattering randomizes the phase of the field …

Thermosensation provides crucial information, but how temperature representation is
transformed from sensation to behavior is poorly understood. Here, we report a preparation that …

Goal-directed behavior requires the interaction of multiple brain regions. How these regions
and their interactions with brain-wide activity drive action selection is less understood. We …
