Across animal phyla, odor information is represented in the first olfactory processing center by combinatorial activation of discrete glomeruli. To examine how this organization of olfactory processin...

Animals use multiple sensory systems to identify signs of danger, including dead conspecifics. Fish can identify decaying conspecifics from chemosensory cues, which prompt a long-lasting avoidance; th...

Understanding how animals move as collectives requires knowledge of movement and interaction rules implemented by individuals within such groups. We report that micro glassfish Danionella cerebrum exh...

How does social experience shape collective behavior? Here, authors show that larval zebrafish use visual-social encounters in crowded or sparse environments to dynamically retune social interactions,...

The understanding of experience-dependent plasticity in the vertebrate retina is largely incomplete. Reynolds et al. discovered that raising animals in differently patterned visual environments change...

Thalamocortical projections shape the functional regionalization and parallel sensory computations across the mammalian cortex. However, the principles of thalamocortical computations in non-mammalian...

Variation is a foundational biological principle that has historically been marginalized—both due to limited experimental accessibility and because of ideali...

We are pleased to announce the First Göttingen Cognition Forum: Curiosity & Interaction The conference brings together researchers from neuroscience, psychology, behavioral biology, computational scie...
