Topic: visuomotor control

Distinguishing between sensory experiences elicited by external stimuli and an animal's own actions is critical for accurate perception. However, the diversity of behaviors and their complex influences on the senses make this distinction challenging. Here, we show that a combination of self-motion cues modulates visual processing in the superficial superior colliculus (sSC), the brain's first visual relay. We uncovered a projection from the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus to the sSC in mice that functions as a corollary discharge hub, conveying inhibitory signals about translational optic f
