Article Synopsis
- Mice have a large visual field that is stabilized by the vestibular ocular reflex (VOR), allowing them to detect predators and track prey effectively.
- Researchers developed a method to digitally reconstruct the visual environment of freely moving mice during prey capture tasks, isolating visual input and analyzing head and eye movements.
- The study found that prey images consistently fall in a specific area of the stabilized visual field that minimizes motion blur, corresponding to a region with a high density of specialized retinal cells responsible for processing motion.
