Abstract Freely moving mice are generally thought to redirect gaze mainly through head-coupled movements, with eye movements stabilizing the retinal image or resetting eye position. This reflexive view leaves unresolved whether gaze shifts also include active coordination modes. Here we show that a single gaze-shift class resolves into multiple distinct head-eye coordination motifs. Using high-resolution head and eye tracking in freely moving mice, we identified four reproducible motifs: Head-before-Eye (HbE), Head-with-Eye (HwE), Head-Dominant (HD), and Eye-Dominant (ED). The motifs differed in head-eye timing, locomotor context, and pre-onset visual-behavioral structure. Their short-timescale sequential organization was non-random: HD formed alternating side-to-side head movements, whereas HwE-HbE-ED formed a directed transition chain preserved within each movement direction. Simultaneous neural recordings further revealed motif-dependent responses in primary visual cortex (V1)...
