Vision guides directed orienting movements during obstacle avoidance in mice
We developed a simple obstacle avoidance task for freely moving mice that requires minimal trainingVision is necessary for efficient and directed paths around an obstacleMice steer around obstacles by performing directed head movements towards clear pathsMice do not require binocular vision for obstacle avoidance.
