Presynaptic temporal dynamics flexibly set input weights in the mouse escape circuit

The paper shows that presynaptic temporal dynamics determine input weights in mouse escape circuit neurons, enabling flexible decision-making during threat.

Aeon: an open-source platform to study the neural basis of ethological behaviours over naturalistic timescales

Aeon enables long-term study of ethological behaviours in mice with simultaneous brain activity recording and provides a unified data format for analysis.

A cortico-collicular circuit for accurate orientation to shelter during escape

This paper identifies a cortico-collicular circuit in mice that encodes shelter direction and is essential for accurate orientation during escape.

Innate heuristics and fast learning support escape route selection in mice

This paper shows mice use innate heuristics and fast spatial learning to select optimal escape routes without prior experience of escaping.

The retrosplenial cortex combines internal and external cues to encode head velocity during navigation

This study identifies that vestibular inputs dominate angular head velocity coding in the retrosplenial cortex, while visual input enhances its accuracy during navigation.

Mice learn multi-step routes by memorizing subgoal locations

This study shows mice use subgoal memorization to learn multi-step routes, a strategy distinct from standard spatial learning models.

A system for tracking whisker kinematics and whisker shape in three dimensions

The paper develops a system to track whisker movements and shape in 3D using high-speed stereo imaging and computational algorithms.

Prediction of primary somatosensory neuron activity during active tactile exploration

The paper predicts primary somatosensory neuron activity during active whisker exploration in mice using rotational forces rather than kinematics.
