What our experiment demonstrates is a fundamental principle of how the brain pays attention.

I see this as a fascinating experiment that reveals the tremendous capacity for plasticity in the developing brain.

So, when the sound moved, the pattern of firing shifted across the map of cells.

Once we learn the circuitry for attention, we plan to use that to drive learning in an efficient way.

This paper opens the floodgates for studying a wide range of species. The fundamental mechanisms are probably going to be the same in all vertebrates, as even frogs and fish have gaze control.

If you understand mechanistically how something works, then you will know how best to fix it.

The fundamental mechanisms are probably going to be the same in all vertebrates, as even frogs and fish have gaze control. The promise here is that because we are doing this in owls, we can get at the mechanisms of how this works.
