Visuomotor flexibility is embedded in the topography of frontal cortex.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
Visual selection and saccade targeting are not obligatorily coupled, allowing a stimulus at one location to guide an eye movement toward another. This is mediated by frontal oculomotor cortex, where maps of visual and motor space converge, yet whether the topographic relationship between these maps itself contributes to this flexibility is unknown. Using Neuropixels recordings across horizontal segments of marmoset cortex, we find that individually visual and saccade vector angles change smoothly, with occasional abrupt jumps. Rather than a one-to-one visual-motor mapping, local cortical patches contain a combination of aligned and misaligned vector angles. Mosaic map models reproduce the empirical distributions of local angle differences for visual and motor maps, revealing that the two maps have constrained and distinct spatial scales. When combined, these mosaic maps generate a moiré pattern that quantitatively matches the observed visual-motor angular differences, providing a substrate for flexible transformations between visual inputs and saccade outputs.
