This conference will bring together leading experts to discuss how neuromodulatory systems shape neuronal circuit dynamics, behavior, and computation. The program will focus on how neuromodulators suc...

How do frontal brain regions guide decision-making in the context of perceptual and non-perceptual factors? This study in ferrets shows through functional ultrasound imaging that activity in the brain...

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Longitudinal tracking of mice reveals that stable, specialized social roles emerge spontaneously within groups during a foraging task, with dopaminergic activity in the ventral tegmental area driving ...

Nonlinear dendritic integration in single presubicular neurons provides a mechanism for combining vestibular-based head-direction signals and visual landmark signals to anchor the brain’s internal com...
