Hypothalamic stimulation can elicit complex behaviors such as aggression, but how discrete motor components of such behaviors are organized at the circuit level remains largely unknown. In this issue of Neuron, Falkner et al. (2020) find that complex neural representations get transformed into a simplified action signal along a hypothalamic-midbrain pathway.

绘制侵略之路。

下丘脑刺激可以引起复杂的行为，例如攻击性，但是在电路层级如何组织这种行为的离散运动成分仍然是未知的。在本期《神经元》中，Falkner等人。（2020）发现，复杂的神经表征沿着下丘脑-中脑途径转化为简化的动作信号。
