Learning speed and detection sensitivity controlled by distinct cortico-fugal neurons in visual cortex

Vertebrates can change their behavior upon detection of visual stimuli according to the outcome their actions produce. Such goal-directed behavior involves evolutionary conserved brain structures like the striatum and optic tectum, which receive ascending visual input from the periphery. In mammals,...
