A thorough understanding of a neuronal circuit requires a detailed anatomical wiring diagram that includes the synaptic connectivity among the component neurons. Even ostensibly subtle connectivity ...

Previous work on mice demonstrated that the direction-selective neurons in the mouse eye -- in this case, retinal ganglion cells -- likewise represent the animal's self-motion as a complex pattern.

Mouse models are central to drug development, including treatments for neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. Such diseases often affect movement, and treatments may need to relieve ...
