Lateral-eyed tree shrews combine panoramic vision with an expanded oculomotor repertoire
Mammals differ in how they redirect gaze. Primates shift and hold gaze with rapid, precise eye movements that can be decoupled from the head. In lateral-eyed mammals studied to date, gaze is organized around the head: saccades are coupled to head rotation in freely moving animals and typically accompanied by attempted head movements even under head fixation. These observations suggest a…
