Machine learning analysis reveals that individual neurons throughout the brain embed information about their anatomical location in their spike trains, a feature that generalizes across animals, experimental conditions, and laboratories.
Studying a decision in archerfish reveals an impressive potential of learning capacities and cognitive aspects that are unexpected for decisions made at reflex speed.
Reversible cerebellar disruption in non-human primates reveals an acute muscle torque deficit and an adaptive slowing strategy to manage limb dynamics, underscoring distinct primary, and compensatory mechanisms underlying motor impairment.
