This study examines age-related changes in neural and behavioural variability during a decision-making task in mice, finding increased neural variability and reduced variability quenching in specific brain regions.

The paper develops an internal state model to analyze decision-making in mice, finding that behavior is governed by four states with distinct performance and bias characteristics.

The paper presents a brain-wide neural activity map from 621,733 neurons across 139 mice performing a decision-making task, showing how neural activity encodes task variables across brain regions.

The paper describes a modular data architecture for a neuroscience collaboration, enabling data contribution, access, and analysis across multiple labs.

The paper shows that dorsomedial striatal pathways oppositely control behavior depending on task demands and internal state.

The paper shows mice switch between multiple decision-making strategies during perceptual tasks, challenging the assumption of a single strategy.

FlyWire enables collaborative proofreading of whole-brain connectomes through an online platform, demonstrating its utility in reconstructing and analyzing mechanosensory neuron circuits.

The paper reconstructs 3D cell nuclei in a Drosophila brain, identifying over 133,000 nuclei, mostly neurons, and highlights differences in nuclear size and cell density across brain regions.
