Activation of superior colliculi in humans during visual exploration [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2007 Background Visual, oculomotor, and – recently – cognitive functions of the superior colliculi (SC) have been documented in detail in non-human primates in the past. Evidence for corresponding functions of the SC in humans is still rare.

Evidence for a push-pull interaction between superior colliculi in monocular dynamic vision mode [PDF]
Communications BiologyVisual perception can operate in two distinct vision modes—static and dynamic—that have been associated with different neural activity regimes in the superior colliculus (SC).

Unconscious Cueing via the Superior Colliculi: Evidence from Searching for Onset and Color Targets [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2012 According to the bottom-up theory of attention, unconscious abrupt onsets are highly salient and capture attention via the Superior Colliculi (SC). Crucially, abrupt onsets increase the perceived contrast.

Involvement of the superior colliculi in crossmodal correspondences. [PDF]
Atten Percept PsychophysThere is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that there are low-level perceptual processes involved in crossmodal correspondences. In this study, we investigate the involvement of the superior colliculi in three basic crossmodal correspondences ...

In vivo Probabilistic Structural Atlas of the Inferior and Superior Colliculi, Medial and Lateral Geniculate Nuclei and Superior Olivary Complex in Humans Based on 7 Tesla MRI [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Despite extensive neuroimaging research of primary sensory cortices involved in auditory and visual functions, subcortical structures within these domains, such as the inferior and superior colliculi, the medial and lateral geniculate nuclei and the ...

Stereological analysis of the vascular network in superior colliculi [PDF]
Scripta Medica, 2020 Background/Aim: Superior colliculi have an important role in the visual system, some motor functions and behaviour. Branches of the posterior cerebral artery and surrounding vessels form a collicular arterial network, which gives rise to several ...

Dbx1 is a dorsal midbrain-specific determinant of GABAergic neuron fate and regulates differentiation of the dorsal midbrain into the inferior and superior colliculi [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyThe mechanism underlying the differentiation of the dorsal midbrain into two morphologically and functionally distinct compartments, the inferior colliculus (IC) and superior colliculus (SC), which process auditory and visual information, respectively ...

[18F]-Fdg Pet Identified Superior Colliculi Hypometabolism in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
, 2016 Hypometabolism in the fronto-mesial cortex and in the anterior cingulate cortex were reported in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Severe neuronal loss, associated with gliosis and neurofibrillary tangles were reported in the superior ...

Deficits in the activation of human oculomotor nuclei in chronic traumatic brain injury [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2015 Binocular eye movements form a finely-tuned system that requires accurate coordination of the oculomotor dynamics of the brainstem control nuclei when tracking the fine binocular disparities required for 3D vision.
