Locomotion selectively enhances visual speed encoding in mouse medial higher visual areas.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mammalian visual systems are comprised of multiple brain areas with distinct functional roles. While functional specializations have been proposed in the mouse based on visual feature encoding, the extent to which these specializations are contingent on ongoing behavior is unknown. To address this, we analyzed the neural encoding of visual motion stimuli by thousands of neurons recorded in six cortical and two thalamic visual areas while mice were stationary or locomoting. We found locomotion selectively enhanced visual speed encoding in medial higher visual cortical areas, indicating that these areas may be specialized for processing visual motion during locomotion. By contrast, the encoding of drifting gratings direction was enhanced non-selectively across the mouse visual cortex during locomotion. Our results reveal how a complex interplay of sensory input and ongoing behavior differentially shapes the efficacy of sensory processing in mouse higher visual areas, supporting context-dependent functional roles.
