The two contrasting theoretical approaches to visual perception, the constructivist and the
ecological, are briefly presented and illustrated through their analyses of space and size …

Multisensory integration does not only recruit higher-level association cortex, but also low-
level and even primary sensory cortices. Here, we will describe and quantify two types of …

Over the last decade virtual reality (VR) setups for rodents have been developed and utilized
to investigate the neural foundations of behavior. Such VR systems became very popular …

As we interact with the external world, we judge magnitudes from sensory information. The
estimation of magnitudes has been characterized in primates, yet it is largely unexplored in …

We test the hypothesis that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) contributes to the control of
visually guided locomotor gait modifications by constructing an estimation of object location …

Due to technical roadblocks, it is unclear how visual circuits represent multiple features or
how behaviorally relevant representations are selected for long-term memory. Here we …

Blowfly flight consists of two main components, saccadic turns and intervals of mostly
straight gaze direction, although, as a consequence of inertia, flight trajectories usually …

Time-to-contact is the visual information that observers use in fundamental tasks such as
landing an airplane or hitting a ball. Time-to-contact has been a hot topic in perception and …

Spatial orientation and navigation rely on information about landmarks and self-motion cues
gained from multi-sensory sources. In this study, we focused on self-motion and examined …

Background and Purpose—With advances in the therapy of stroke at the postacute phase,
the use of animal models for chronological and region-specific evaluation of neurological …
