Locomotion-induced gain of visual responses cannot explain visuomotor mismatch responses in layer 2/3 of primary visual cortex

This paper challenges a previous claim that locomotion-induced gain explains visuomotor mismatch responses in mouse visual cortex by showing mismatch responses are experience-dependent and not explained by visual halt responses.

Developmental plasticity in visual cortex is necessary for normal visuomotor integration and visuomotor skill learning

The study shows that NMDA receptor-dependent plasticity in V1 during early visual experience is critical for visuomotor integration and skill learning.
