Increased mass enhances speed but compromises turning capacity in pursuit predators; this has widespread ramifications for the best strategies for predators and prey during chases according to their relative masses.

A spiking neural network model explains how hippocampal theta sequences in two-dimensional arenas can arise from a combination of sensory-motor inputs, short-term synaptic plasticity, and intrinsic connectivity.

Drosophila uses a gait close to the tripod throughout its speed range, and changes in speed are accompanied by changes in the geometry of the tripod.

When running on uneven terrain, humans mostly rely on the body's mechanical response for stability instead of planning their footsteps to seek out level ground.

Natural step-to-step variations show how human running is stabilized, underscoring the importance of center of mass control and showing how humans run without falling despite muscle noise and uneven terrain.

Although activity in mouse V1 increases substantially during volitional running, such modulations in the foveal/central representation of primate V1 appear much smaller and suppressive.

Stride-related modulated firing by neurons of the cerebellar nuclei is required for smooth execution of practiced locomotion and persists more easily with synchronous than asynchronous Purkinje-mediated inhibition.

BrainPy presents a general-purpose programming framework that enables efficient implementation, simulation, training, and analysis of brain dynamics models across multiple organization scales, ultimately facilitating the understanding of the complex neural mechanisms underlying brain functions.

Hippocampal area CA2 controls low gamma and ripple oscillations, brain waves known to be impaired in schizophrenia, implicating this important brain region in cognition.

By recording simultaneous spike trains from fear-responsive basal amygdala (BA) and place-responsive dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) neurons in rats foraging for food in a risky predatory situation, a novel BA-dHPC circuit coding mechanism for interfacing danger and place information was revealed.
