So this finding that neurons were responsive to sound but cared very much about the position of the eyes was really you know a startling finding when it first came about.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
um that uh there's a brain structure called the superior caliculus um that's responsive to both visual and auditory stimuli and that the responses to auditory stimula depended on where the eyes were looking.
Um if you move the eyes the neurons receptive field, the region in space where they were responsive to would shift um as the eyes moved.
