PMID: 39081209
Holding still and aiming reaches to spatial targets may depend on distinct neural circuits. Using automated homecage training and a sensitive joystick, we trained freely moving mice to contact a...

Similar to other animals, the fly, changes its foraging strategy from exploration to exploitation upon encountering a nutrient-rich food source. However, the impact of metabolic state or taste/nutrient value on...

PMID: 37398009
To perform most behaviors, animals must send commands from higher-order processing centers in the brain to premotor circuits that reside in ganglia distinct from the brain, such as the mammalian...

PMID: 36516241
While insects such as are flying, aerodynamic instabilities require that they make millisecond time scale adjustments to their wing motion to stay aloft and on course. These stabilization reflexes can...

PMID: 34012117
Precise tongue control is necessary for drinking, eating and vocalizing. However, because tongue movements are fast and difficult to resolve, neural control of lingual kinematics remains poorly understood. Here we...

PMID: 30540551
An obstacle to understanding neural mechanisms of movement is the complex, distributed nature of the mammalian motor system. Here we present a novel behavioral paradigm for high-throughput dissection of neural...
