To survive and pass on their genes, animals must perform many tasks that affect their fitness,
such as mate-choice, foraging, and predator avoidance. The ability to make rapid decisions …

Human locomotion involves a complex interplay among multiple brain regions and depends
on constant feedback from the visual system. We summarize here the current understanding …

Birds of prey rely on vision to execute flight manoeuvres that are key to their survival, such
as intercepting fast-moving targets or navigating through clutter. A better understanding of …

Visual control of steps is critical in everyday life. Several motor centers are implicated in
visual control of steps on a complex surface, however, participation of a large cortical motor …

Efference copies are neural replicas of motor outputs used to anticipate the sensory
consequences of a self-generated motor action or to coordinate neural networks involved in …

Thalamic stroke leads to ataxia if the cerebellum-receiving ventrolateral thalamus (VL) is
affected. The compensation mechanisms for this deficit are not well understood, particularly …

Key points Vision plays a crucial role in guiding locomotion in complex environments, but
the coordination between gaze and stride is not well understood. The coordination of gaze …

Locomotion on complex terrains often requires vision. However, how vision serves
locomotion is not well understood. Here, we asked when visual information necessary for …

Responses of neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex during movements are poorly
understood, even during such simple tasks as walking on a flat surface. In this study, we …

Abstract Knowledge of how the head moves during locomotion is essential for
understanding how locomotion is controlled by sensory systems of the head. We have …
