Animals generate neural representations of their heading direction. Notably, in insects, heading
direction is topographically represented by the activity of neurons in the central complex. …

We present Stytra, a flexible, open-source software package, written in Python and designed
to cover all the general requirements involved in larval zebrafish behavioral experiments. It …

Animals can use different strategies to navigate. They may guide their movements by relying
on external cues in their environment or, alternatively, by using an internal cognitive map of …

Three-dimensional (3D) digital brain atlases and high-throughput brain-wide imaging
techniques generate large multidimensional datasets that can be registered to a common …

Many oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) do not differentiate to form myelin, suggesting
additional roles of this cell population. The zebrafish optic tectum contains OPCs in regions …

Animals must adapt their behavior to survive in a changing environment. Behavioral adaptations
can be evoked by two mechanisms: feedback control and internal-model-based control. …

Impairments of the dialog between excitation and inhibition (E/I) is commonly associated to
neuropsychiatric disorders like autism, bipolar disorders and epilepsy. Moderate levels of …

Neuroscientists routinely perform experiments aimed at recording or manipulating neural
activity, uncovering physiological processes underlying brain function or elucidating aspects of …

Sampling behaviors have sensory consequences that can hinder perceptual stability. In
olfaction, sniffing affects early odor encoding, mimicking a sudden change in odor concentration. …

The cerebellum is a highly conserved structure of the vertebrate central nervous system that
plays a role in the timing and calibration of motor sequences. Its function is supported by the …
