Visiomode is an open-source platform for building rodent touchscreen-based behavioral assays, offering a low-cost, adaptable solution for cognitive and sensorimotor behavior studies.

The paper examines movement-invariant and movement-specific signaling in layer 5B of motor cortex in mice, finding that most neurons show movement-invariant responses while a minority display movement specificity.

The paper shows that cerebellar-recipient motor thalamus provides a fixed latency signal for movement initiation, which is critical for goal-directed behavior in mice.
