Locomotion triggers changes in brain state and long distance communication

While scientists have spent years mapping anatomical projections and monitoring activity from individual neurons, little is known about how signals sent by individual neurons relate to the larger, bidirectional communication that underlies complex behaviour. Neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre report in Nature Neuroscience on a new approach that offers insight into these complex neural conversations.
