Visual receptive fields are known to change positions around the time of a saccade, but the nature of this remapping is unclear. Here Neupane and colleagues show that neurons in area V4 of the visual cortex exhibit two types of remapping, one consistent with a role in maintaining perceptual stability, and a second that seems to reflect shifts of attention.
