This study identifies a somatostatinergic circuit in the mouse superior colliculus that regulates sensory access to action by inhibiting spatial-motor modules during orienting movements and visual stimulation.

The paper shows orientation maps in the superior colliculus are inherited from the retina, while direction maps result from local circuits.

The paper investigates the genomic stability of the self-inactivating Rabies virus (SiR) and finds that revertant mutations are rare and do not accumulate in vivo or in high-TEV protease expressing cell lines.
