Toward A Whole-Brain Interface Enabled by High-Resolution Surface Electrophysiology

This paper presents a functional atlas of the human central nervous system using high-resolution surface electrophysiology from 70 patients, revealing conserved electrophysiological patterns and enabling neuroprosthetic applications.

A theory and recipe to construct general and biologically plausible integrating continuous attractor neural networks

This paper introduces a framework to construct biologically plausible continuous attractor neural networks with specified topologies and integration capabilities.

Tonically active GABAergic neurons in the dorsal periaqueductal gray control the initiation and execution of instinctive escape

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

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.

Differential geometry methods for constructing manifold-targeted recurrent neural networks.

This paper introduces a method using differential geometry to construct recurrent neural networks with dynamics targeted to a specific manifold, improving the design of task-solving neural dynamics.

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.

Tools for accurate post hoc determination of marker location within whole-brain microscopy images

The paper develops open-source Python tools for accurately mapping the location of dye-labelled probes and fluorescent cells in whole-brain microscopy images.

Brainrender: a python-based software for visualizinganatomically registered data

Brainrender is a Python package for interactive visualization of anatomically registered brain data, enabling seamless integration of diverse datasets and atlases.

Cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus drives behavioral context-specific movement initiation

The paper shows that cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus provides a fixed latency signal for movement initiation, which is critical for goal-directed behavior in mice.
