Intrinsic connectivity of human superior colliculus [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research, 2018 The superior colliculus (SC) is believed to play an important role in sensorimotor integration and orienting behavior. It is classically divided into superficial layers predominantly containing visual neurons and deep layers containing multisensory and ...

Functional connectivity from Zona Incerta Cells Coexpressing Dopamine and GABA to the Superior Colliculus [PDF]
, 2021 The zona incerta is important for anxiety-mediated behaviors. It contains a group of dopaminergic cells that coexpress the vesicular GABA transporter, potentially coreleasing dopamine and GABA.

Motor Functions of the Superior Colliculus [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2011 The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) and its nonmammalian homolog, the optic tectum, constitute a major node in processing sensory information, incorporating cognitive factors, and issuing motor commands. The resulting action—to orient toward or away from a stimulus—can be accomplished as an integrated movement across oculomotor, cephalomotor, and ...

Functional Organisation of the Mouse Superior Colliculus
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 The superior colliculus (SC) is a highly conserved area of the mammalian midbrain that is widely implicated in the organisation and control of behaviour. SC receives input from a large number of brain areas, and provides outputs to a large number of areas.

The tectum/superior colliculus as the vertebrate solution for spatial sensory integration and action [PDF]
, 2021 The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but also through electrosensation, infrared detection, and other sensory

Involvement of the Superior Colliculus in SIDS Pathogenesis
Biomedicines, 2023 The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of the mesencephalic superior colliculus (SC) in the pathogenetic mechanism of SIDS, a syndrome frequently ascribed to arousal failure from sleep. We analyzed the brains of 44 infants who died suddenly within the first 7 months of life, among which were 26 infants with SIDS and 18 controls.

The human superior colliculus: Neither necessary, nor sufficient for consciousness? [PDF]
, 2007 Non-invasive neuroimaging in humans permits direct investigation of the potential role for mesodiencephalic structures in consciousness. Activity in the superior colliculus can be correlated with the contents of consciousness, but it can be also ...

Current Biology, 2004 Considerable progress has been made in understanding the sensory and motor functions of the superior colliculus and how these interact to produce behavioral responses. The organization of the sensory and motor maps, and the close relationship between them, has rendered this midbrain structure the region of choice for addressing a number of fundamental ...

The connections of the inferior colliculus and the organization of the brainstem auditory system in the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) [PDF]
, 1981 The connections of the inferior colliculus, the mammalian midbrain auditory center, were determined in the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), using the horseradish peroxidase method.

Morphological effects of long-term consumption of energy drinks on the intracranial visual relay centres of adult wistar rats. [PDF]
, 2016 Morphological effects of long-term consumption of energy drinks on the intracranial visual relay centres namely superior colliculus and lateral geniculate body of adult wistar rats were carefully studied.
