For the oculomotor nerds out there⦠weāre excited to share our paired papers on precerebellar circuitry! These two studies look at how internuclear pathways talk to the cerebellum and what that means for eye movement control. šš§

I just gave a lecture on "Higher visual cortex" to undergrads and I covered the 5 topics below. Now I need to suggest readings. Arghh. All I have is for grad students or beyond! Any suggestions for an undergrad textbook? I loved "From Neuron to Brain" and "Neurons and Networks" but they're old.
