Understanding how genes within cells, and cells within circuits, function together to produce the extraordinary repertoire of animal behaviors is arguably one of the most challenging undertakings in neuroscience. Two papers in this issue move toward this goal via 3D imaging of active neurons across the entire mouse brain.
