Chilean Brush-Tailed Mouse (Octodon degus): A Diurnal Precocial Rodent as a New Model to Study Visual Receptive Field Properties of Superior Colliculus Neurons

The Chilean Brush-tailed Mouse (Octodon degus) as a New Model for Studying the Visual System Academic Background The study of the visual system has always been an important topic in the field of neuroscience. Traditionally, scientists have used nocturnal or crepuscular rodents (such as hamsters, rats, and mice) as models to study the development an...

Perisaccadic Perceptual Mislocalization Strength Depends on the Visual Appearance of Saccade Targets

New Findings in Visual Perception and Eye Movement Research Background Introduction In daily life, despite the constant rapid eye movements (known as saccades), we are still able to perceive a stable visual environment. This stability is achieved through the integration of information by the visual system during saccades. However, the mechanisms of...
