Motor planning modulates sensory-motor control of collision avoidance behavior in the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana

Summary In this study, we examined the collision avoidance behavior of the frog, Rana catesbeiana to an approaching object in the upper visual field. The angular velocity of the frog's escape turn showed a significant positive correlation with the turn angle (r2 = 0.5741, P<0.05). A similar...
