Hungry for motion: the senses propel predation

Hungry for motion: the senses propel predation

How to know when to hunt or when to lay low? Surprisingly, new research shows that activity in the medial zona incerta specifically initiates predation in the mouse. The medial zona incerta integrates visual motion and tactile stimulation sent from the intermediate superior colliculus to motivate hu...
