Topic: Naturalistic behaviour

Goal-directed saccades have been studied extensively in primates. In contrast, eye movements in mice have been thought to mainly coordinate eye-head coupling, rather than actively select visual input, due to the absence of a retinal fovea and their reliance on non-visual senses. But does this hold true during naturalistic behaviour?To study mouse eye movements in a naturalistic context featuring self-initiated visual flow and the need for visual target tracking, we designed a foraging task presented in a virtual reality, projected onto a 210-degree immersive environment (Fig1A). The saccades w
