Abstract
Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and behavior. Here, we first describe emerging tools and technologies being used to probe large-scale brain activity and new approaches to characterize behavior in the context of such measurements. We next highlight insights obtained from large-scale neural recordings in diverse model systems, and argue that some of these pose a challenge to traditional theoretical frameworks. Finally, we elaborate on existing modelling frameworks to interpret these data, and argue that interpreting brain-wide neural recordings calls for new theoretical approaches that may depend on the desired level of understanding at stake. These advances in both neural recordings and theory development will pave the way for critical advances in…
