Interactions between rodent visual and spatial systems during navigation

AB Saleem, L Busse - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
Many behaviours that are critical for animals to survive and thrive rely on spatial navigation.
Spatial navigation, in turn, relies on internal representations about one's spatial location …
