title: Pursuing the link between neurons and behavior.
abstract: Hohl et al. (2013) found that fluctuations in neuronal responses in the middle temporal area (MT) are correlated with variability in smooth pursuit eye movements. The pattern of neuron-behavior correlations constrains models of how sensory neurons guide behavior and establishes pursuit as an attractive model system for studying how sensory neurons guide behavior.
