This study shows that exploratory behavior during training biases the movement strategies mice use to reach a spatial target.

This study identifies distinct roles of thalamic nuclei in the refinement of spatial reach movements in mice, showing that Pf nuclei control direction refinement while VAL nuclei influence speed and overshoot.

The paper introduces Myomatrix arrays, a high-resolution electrode technology for recording muscle activity from motor units across species during natural behaviors.

The paper identifies an amygdala circuit that mediates experience-dependent momentary exploratory arrests in mice without affecting place preference or anxiety-like behaviors.
