Comparative neuroanatomy of emotion expression: from flies to humans

All animals exhibit complex behaviours that share features with those that in humans we call 'emotional expressions'. Sidestepping contentious issues about the conscious experience of emotion, their expression across species provides a wealth of detail about their emergence in ev...

Neural dynamics underlying minute-timescale persistent behaviour in the human brain

Pursuing longer-term goals relies on representations of task context that can be maintained over long periods of time and switched flexibly when goals change. Little is known about the neural substrate for maintaining context representations on the minute-timescale on which human...
