Truly dorsal: nonlinear integration of motion signals is required to account for the responses of pattern cells in rat visual cortex

This study shows that pattern cells in rat visual cortex use nonlinear integration of motion signals, similar to primate models, suggesting shared cortical mechanisms.

Rats spontaneously perceive global motion direction of drifting plaids

This study investigates whether rats can perceive global motion direction of drifting plaids by comparing their responses to gratings and plaids as prime stimuli.
