Hierarchical transformations of visual representations, saccade-related activity, and sensorimotor associations occur in parallel at the juncture of visual and parietal cortex.
Single-cell RNA-sequencing and neural circuitry analyses reveal that sensorimotor transformation of different behaviors which are performed by separate circuit modules in the superior colliculus are molecularly defined by distinct transcriptomic codes of specific neuron subtypes.

Preparatory states within the motor cortex play a critical role in selecting an appropriate action in response to sensory input, dependent on the context.

Optogenetic stimulation of odor- and taste-sensing neurons of the fruit fly larva combined with reverse-correlation analysis has been used to build mathematical models that predict navigational behavior.

Classical theoretical approaches to studying the cerebellar cortex are generalized to a broader set of learning tasks, revealing that the optimal value for the sparsity of granule cell activity is task-dependent.

In individuals with a missing hand, the area of the brain that would otherwise control that hand is recruited by either the remaining hand or the residual limb, depending on the usage preference of the individual.
