Quantifying behavior to solve sensorimotor transformations: advances from worms and flies
2017
Current Opinion in Neurobiology
These tools permit a highly quantitative analysis of behavioral dynamics at timescales that are well matched to the timescales of neural activity. ...
genetic tools for neural activation, silencing, and recording, have already proven instrumental for illuminating underlying neural mechanisms. ...

Ongoing habenular activity is driven by forebrain networks and modulated by olfactory stimuli
[article]
2021
bioRxiv
pre-print
Our results highlight a major role for the olfactory system in regulating the ongoing activity of the habenula and the forebrain, thereby altering brain's internal states. ...
SUMMARYOngoing neural activity, which represents internal brain states, is constantly modulated by the sensory information that is generated by the environment. ...
We thank Steffen Kandler and Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi for their feedback on the manuscript. This work was funded by ...

Tonic activity in lateral habenula neurons promotes disengagement from reward-seeking behavior
[article]
2021
bioRxiv
pre-print
Neural activity in the lateral habenula (LHb) has been linked to aversion and negative valence, but its role in regulating the balance between reward-seeking and disengaged behavioral states remains unclear ...
Further, we show that LHb inhibition extends ongoing reward-seeking behavioral states but does not prompt re-engagement. ...

Experience-dependent modulation of behavioral features in sensory navigation of nematodes and bats revealed by machine learning
[article]
2017
bioRxiv
pre-print
We segmented worms' trajectories during olfactory navigation into two behavioral states, analyzed 92 features of the states, and automatically extracted 9 distinguishing features modulated by prior odor ...
In order to decipher dynamic brain functions from time-series of behavioral data, we developed a machine learning strategy that extracts distinguishing behavioral features of sensory navigation. ...

A distributed circuit for associating environmental context to motor choice in retrosplenial cortex
[article]
2020
bioRxiv
pre-print
We find that mice exhibit differential pre-decision activity in RSC, and that optogenetic suppression of RSC activity impairs task performance. ...
The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) receives inputs from both visual cortex and subcortical regions required for spatial memory, and projects to motor planning regions. ...
