Encoding of 3D Head Orienting Movements in Primary Visual Cortex

Grigori Guitchounts, Javier Alejandro Masis, Steffen B. E. Wolff, David Cox

This study shows that 3D head orienting movements modulate V1 neuronal activity in a direction-specific manner, with two distinct populations of neurons responding in light and dark conditions.
