Finding our way around the sensory-motor corner.
Our understanding of how sensory information is transformed into motor commands has grown increasingly sophisticated. In this issue of Neuron, Wilmer and Nakayama use a novel analysis to show that the initial changes in smooth-pursuit eye speed are driven by low-level motion signals, whereas the later eye speed is determined by high-level signals.
