The paper uses computer vision and dimensionality reduction to analyze chromatophore motor control in cephalopods, revealing the organization of motor units and their neural control.

This study identifies VGAT+ neurons in the dPAG that modulate escape behavior by tonically controlling excitatory neurons during threat response.

The paper shows that escape decisions in mice are computed via a synaptic threshold mechanism involving mSC and dPAG neurons.

This study shows that mice can rapidly update their instinctive defensive behaviors based on spatial learning, switching strategies like escape to freezing when environments change.
