Cortical Processing: How Mice Predict the Visual Effects of Locomotion

New research identifies a frontal area in the mouse neocortex that sends predictions of locomotion-coupled visual flow to visual cortex. The findings support predictive coding theories of cortical processing. New research identifies a frontal area in the mouse neocortex that sends predictions of loc...
