🧵 New paper out🚨🧠! Information about motion is key to vision. Head motion signals from the vestibular system robustly modulate visual cortex activity. Despite this profound modulation, we still don’t know how these signals reach visual cortex - or even what aspects of head motion are transmitted.
🤯 👁️ Did you know the primary visual cortex tracks head movements even in complete darkness?
Guy Bouvier and colleagues managed to decode multiple head movement variables in V1 without light in the room, and discovered two distinct brain sources delivering these signals!
