Streamlined sensory motor communication through cortical reciprocal connectivity in a visually guided eye movement task

Reciprocal connectivity enables tightly coupled information processing across cortical areas. Here the authors develop a visual oculomotor task in mice, identify a small motor area required for it, and demonstrate selective exchange of sensory and motor information between the motor and sensory area...
