Localizing tactile events in external space is required for essential functions such as orienting, haptic exploration, and goal-directed action in peripersonal space. In order to map somatosensory input into a spatiotopic representation, information about skin location must be integrated with proprioceptive information . . . → Read More: The Posterior Parietal Cortex Remaps Touch into External Space

The magnetic compass orientation of birds is light dependent [1,2]. The respective directional information, originating in radical pair processes [3,4,5], is mediated by the right eye [6]. These findings suggest possible interactions between magnetoreception and vision, in particular with the perception of contours, . . . → Read More: Magnetoreception of Directional Information in Birds Requires Nondegraded Vision
