Mice are an increasingly popular animal model for understanding vision in health and disease, but we know little about how they naturally use vision to guide behavior. Instinctive avoidance behaviors—freeze and flight—provide natural behaviors, but what visual stimuli cause mice to choose one behavior over another? De Franceschi et al. show that mice are likely to freeze at the sight of small slow-moving shapes and flee from fast approaching ones.

Public lecture: Cabinets of consequence - Salon #1 Navigation, UCL Octogon
Drawing on research from the Carandini and Saleem Laboratories here at UCL, Dr Aman Saleem will explain how we move, how we plan movement, and how we locate ourselves in the world. The metaphor of navigation is then used to explore the context of the current Octagon exhibition Cabinets of Consequence with with Prof Jane Fenoulhet (UCL SELCS) offering an insight into navigating with Deleuze and Dr Jane Gilbert ( UCL SELCS) will reveal how we have looked at navigating our way through change and metamorphosis in French historical literature.
Enjoy an 18th century salon style experience with a themed music and drinks.
