This study investigates how parallel pathways in the superior colliculus cooperate to support visually evoked escape behaviors through cell-type-specific inhibition and functional imaging.

The paper shows that visual-field position shapes input sampling and output routing in the mouse superior colliculus through specialized circuit modules.

The paper identifies pathway-specific inputs to the superior colliculus that modulate visual processing and enable flexible behavior through distinct inhibitory circuits.

The paper maps brain-wide neural activity downstream of four collicular cell-types in mice, revealing distinct behavioral outcomes and novel brain regions involved in defensive behaviors.

This study shows that septal GABAergic inputs to CA1 promote contextual fear memory by blocking parvalbumin interneuron activation and facilitating Erk/MAP-kinase signaling in pyramidal cells during retrieval.

This paper introduces vfUSI, a platform for brain-wide functional ultrasound imaging in mice, enabling high-resolution analysis of circuit dynamics and neural activity.
