Syeda, …, @computingnature et al., bioRxiv (2026) find that #NeuralActivity in #mouse #VisualCortex is dominated by #orofacial movements, not eye movements. Across darkness and visual stimulation, eye movements explain only a small fraction of neural variance and are largely correlated with whisking and sniffing. Movement signals thus strongly shape #V1 activity during free viewing.
