The neural circuit underlying defecation behavior in Drosophila larvae has been identified and characterized.

Mouse superior colliculus is involved in figure detection based on differences in contrast and texture orientation and phase.

BoutonAnalyzer software makes it possible to detect axonal boutons and measure their structural plasticity in long-term in vivo imaging experiments.

Neural correlates of somatosensory target detection are restricted to secondary somatosensory cortex, whereas activity in insular, cingulate, and motor regions reflects stimulus uncertainty and overt reports.

In order to adjust for expected difficulty level while detecting unpredictably timed target within continuous streams of noisy information, people regulate the transfer of the sensory inputs to the accumulation process.

Building on previous work (Baker et al., 2015), further evidence is reported for a novel mechanism for sensory coding based on the detection of oscillatory synchrony among peripheral receptors.

A machine learning method for action detection is developed and applied toward mouse grooming behavior.

Behavior is a major determinant of the activity of auditory midbrain neurons and can shape their responses independently of input from the auditory cortex.

Foveal vision in pigeons plays a crucial role in predator detection while the flock is collectively foraging and being vigilant.

When all features of conflicting sensory input are task-irrelevant, the brain can still process its sensory information, whereas conflict detection requires that minimally one stimulus feature is task-relevant or associated with a response.
