Visual pattern discrimination in cats after removal of the superior colliculi [PDF]
Psychonomic Science, 1971 Two groups of cats were trained to make a visual discrimination between two patterns in a standard discrimination apparatus. Animals in Group I were trained until they reached a criterion level of 90% correct responding, had bilateral lesions made in the superior colliculi (SC), and were retrained.

[18F]-Fdg Pet Identified Superior Colliculi Hypometabolism in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease & Parkinsonism, 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 colliculi of patients with PSP in the initial clinico-neuropathological description of the disease by

Inside the head of Crotalus durissus LINNAEUS, 1758 (Serpentes, Viperidae, Crotalinae): Macroscopic description of the brain with ontogenetic insights. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Neuroanatomy studies in vertebrates have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly driven by advancements in computerized tomography imaging techniques. Nonetheless, these advancements remain largely constrained to specific vertebrate groups, notably mammals, birds, and fish, leaving studies in reptiles at an incipient stage.

Effects of damage to superior colliculi and pre-tectum on movement discrimination in rhesus monkeys [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research, 1984 Eight rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were trained to detect an instantaneous lateral displacement of a small spot of light. The smallest movement for 79% correct performance was then determined. Severing the splenium of the corpus callosum, which has to be done to reveal the superior colliculi, had no effect on the movement threshold.

The involvement of the superior colliculi in hemispherectomized subjects with blindsight
Journal of Vision, 2010 Purpose: The ability in cortically blind patients to respond to visual stimuli without consciously experiencing has been termed ‘blindsight’. The goal of this study is to investigate the involvement of the superior colliculi (SC) in mediating blindsight in hemispherectomized (HS) subjects. Methods: We used the achromatic properties of collicular cells,

Combining Stimulation Protocols to Probe Memory Consolidation-Commentary on Hausdorf et al. 2025. [PDF]
Eur J NeurosciABSTRACT A recent study by Hausdorf et al. reported that combining closed‐loop acoustic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation during sleep does not improve memory consolidation. This contrasts with past studies that reported a beneficial effect of each method individually.

Age-Related Hearing Loss: Sensory and Neural Etiology and Their Interdependence
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a common, increasing problem for older adults, affecting about 1 billion people by 2050. We aim to correlate the different reductions of hearing from cochlear hair cells (HCs), spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), cochlear ...
