Connectome simulations identify a central pattern generator circuit for fly walking

The paper identifies a minimal central pattern generator circuit for fly walking using connectome simulations and experimental validation.

Whole-body 3D kinematics of freely behaving Drosophila

Seven high-speed cameras, a hybrid 2D/3D network and body-model inverse kinematics track 50 keypoints on freely moving flies; height and speed peak together at all running speeds.

Temporally organized activity in mouse V1 encodes newly sampled visual content during free movement

This study shows that V1 activity in mice encodes visual content sampled during gaze shifts, with responses reflecting visual input rather than movement timing alone.

TiDHy: Timescale Demixing via Hypernetworks to learn simultaneous dynamics from mixed observations

TiDHy demixes simultaneous latent dynamical systems from mixed observations, capturing multiple timescales of variation in synthetic and real-world data.

The digital sphinx: Can a worm brain control a fly body?

The paper demonstrates that a virtual animal combining a worm connectome and fly biomechanics can produce realistic behavior without biological accuracy, highlighting risks of overinterpreting such models.

A dynamic sequence of visual processing initiated by gaze shifts

This study investigates how neurons in mouse and marmoset V1 respond to gaze shifts, revealing a dynamic sequence of activity linked to visual sampling.

Joint coding of visual input and eye/head position in V1 of freely moving mice

The paper investigates how V1 neurons in freely moving mice integrate visual input with eye and head position during natural behavior, finding multiplicative integration of visual and positional signals.

Distance estimation from monocular cues in an ethological visuomotor task

This study shows mice use monocular visual cues to judge distance during gap jumping, with visual cortex involvement, and demonstrates how sensory processing couples with motor output in a natural task.

Dynamics of gaze control during prey capture in freely moving mice

This study examines eye movement dynamics during prey capture in freely moving mice, revealing compensatory and non-compensatory movements that help stabilize and recenter gaze.
