title: Exploring the next frontier of mouse vision.
abstract: Two studies in this issue of Neuron apply in vivo functional imaging techniques to map out and record from mouse extrastriate visual cortex. They find that distinct areas show hallmarks of processing for different types of visual input and provide a promising path forward to investigate how complex image analysis is performed in the mouse visual system.
