Preserved neural dynamics across animals performing similar behaviour.

ABSTRACT: Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to their body and environment. These behaviours are shaped at the species level by selection pressures over evolutionary timescales. Yet, it remains unclear how these common behavioural adaptations emerge from the idiosyncratic neural circuitry of each individual. The overall organization of neural circuits is preserved across individuals¹ because of their common evolutionarily specified developmental programme^2-4. Such organization at the circuit level may constrain neural activity^5-8, leading to low-dimensional latent dynamics across the neural population^9-11. Accordingly, here we suggested that the shared circuit-level constraints within a species would lead
