Studies of the mouse visual system have revealed a variety of visual brain areas in a roughly hierarchical arrangement, together with a multitude of behavioral capacities, ranging from stimulus-reward associations, to goal-directed navigation, and object-centric discriminations. However, an overall understanding of the mouse’s visual cortex organization, and how this organization supports visual behaviors, remains unknown. Here, we take a computational approach to help address these questions, providing a high-fidelity quantitative model of mouse visual cortex. By analyzing factors contributin
