Neural Mechanisms in Causal Visual Control in Mice

Neural Mechanisms in Causal Visual Control in Mice

Mice learned to control a visual cursor by entraining activity patterns in different brain regions. Neurons in higher visual areas responded more strongly during active control, especially near the target, highlighting brain focus on goal-directed manipulation.

Neural Mechanisms of Causal Control in Visual Sensory Representation

Neural Mechanisms of Causal Control in Visual Sensory Representation

Mice learned to control a visual cursor by entraining activity patterns in different brain regions, demonstrating how sensory experiences help us understand and influence causally controlled objects. Higher visual cortex activity increases as mice successfully guide the cursor toward targets.

Abstract Synopsis

  • Mice learned to control a visual cursor by entraining activity patterns in different brain regions, demonstrating how sensory experiences help us understand and influence causally controlled objects.
  • Brain areas that were usually interconnected could quickly adapt to help control the cursor, with higher visual cortex especially active when mice successfully guided the cursor, indicating a focus on goal-directed control.
  • Neurons in higher visual areas responded more strongly when mice actively controlled the cursor than during passive viewing, especially as the cursor neared the target, suggesting that our brain emphasizes objects we intend to manipulate and are close to achieving, which may enhance sensory feedback and control.]
