Life goes by: a visual circuit signals perceptual-motor mismatch

Nature Neuroscience volume 19, pages 177–179 (2016)Cite this article

Subjects

Connections between a specific thalamic structure and the neocortex convey mismatches between internal perceptions and external events. These findings help to define the circuits controlling contextual modulation of visual-motor processing.
