Motor cortex is widely believed to underlie the acquisition and execution of motor skills, but
its contributions to these processes are not fully understood. One reason is that studies on …

Neuroscience has long been an essential driver of progress in artificial intelligence (AI). We
propose that to accelerate progress in AI, we must invest in fundamental research in NeuroAI…

Trial-to-trial variability in the execution of movements and motor skills is ubiquitous and widely
considered to be the unwanted consequence of a noisy nervous system. However, recent …

… We thank Sean Escola, James Fitzgerald, Grigori Guitchounts, Johannes Letzkus, Philip
Tovote and the Ölveczky Lab for helpful comments on the manuscript. This work was supported …

Songbirds learn their songs by trial-and-error experimentation, producing highly variable
vocal output as juveniles. By comparing their own sounds to the song of a tutor, young …

Individual differences in motor learning ability are widely acknowledged, yet little is known
about the factors that underlie them. Here we explore whether movement-to-movement …

An important task in vision is to detect objects moving within a stationary scene. During normal
viewing this is complicated by the presence of eye movements that continually scan the …

Rapid and reversible manipulations of neural activity in behaving animals are transforming
our understanding of brain function. An important assumption underlying much of this work is …

Comprehensive descriptions of animal behavior require precise three-dimensional (3D)
measurements of whole-body movements. Although two-dimensional approaches can track …

It is thought that the high protein density in the mitochondrial matrix results in severely
restricted solute diffusion and metabolite channeling from one enzyme to another without free …
