Rodents Reflect Human Visual Processing: Motion Insight

A new study reveals that rats, like primates, have specialized visual neurons for accurately perceiving motion. By recording rat cortical cells and analyzing their behavior with AI models, researchers identified a cluster of neurons similar to “pattern cells” in primates, vital for processing complex motion.
