Animals have a remarkable ability to track dynamic sensory information. For example, the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can locate a diacetyl odor source across a 100,000-fold …

Foraging animals have distinct exploration and exploitation behaviors that are organized into
discrete behavioral states. Here, we characterize a neuromodulatory circuit that generates …

When navigating the environment, animals need to prioritize responses to the most relevant
stimuli. Although a theoretical framework for selective visual attention exists, its circuit …

Collective behavior, such as shoaling in teleost fish, is driven by the perceptual recognition
of conspecific animals. Because social interactions are mutual, it has been difficult to …

The advent of multimodal brain atlases promises to accelerate progress in neuroscience by
allowing in silico queries of neuron morphology, connectivity, and gene expression. We …

Biology emerges from interactions between molecules, which are challenging to elucidate
with current techniques. An orthogonal approach is to probe for 'response signatures' that …

Social affiliation emerges from individual-level behavioural rules that are driven by conspecific
signals 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 – 5 . Long-distance attraction and short-distance repulsion, for example…

Neuronal responses to sensory inputs can vary based on genotype, development, experience,
or stochastic factors. Existing neuronal recording techniques examine a single animal at …

We have developed an imaging system for 3D time-lapse polarization microscopy of living
biological samples. Polarization imaging reveals the position, alignment and orientation of …

Interindividual variation in behavior and brain activity is universal and provides substrates
for natural selection [1–9]. Selective pressures shift the expression of behavioral traits at the …
