Involvement of the Superior Colliculus in SIDS Pathogenesis [PDF]
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.

Multisensory Information Facilitates Reaction Speed by Enlarging Activity Difference between Superior Colliculus Hemispheres in Rats [PDF]
, 2011 Animals can make faster behavioral responses to multisensory stimuli than to unisensory stimuli. The superior colliculus (SC), which receives multiple inputs from different sensory modalities, is considered to be involved in the initiation of motor ...

Non-Stationarity in Multisensory Neurons in the Superior Colliculus [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 The superior colliculus (SC) integrates information from multiple sensory modalities to facilitate the detection and localization of salient events. The efficacy of multisensory integration is traditionally measured by comparing the magnitude of the ...

Detecting biological motion signals in human and monkey superior colliculus: a subcortical-cortical pathway for biological motion perception [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMost vertebrates, including humans, are highly adept at detecting and encoding biological motion, even when it is portrayed by just a few point lights attached to the head and major joints.

Functional cell types in the mouse superior colliculus [PDF]
eLife, 2023 The superior colliculus (SC) represents a major visual processing station in the mammalian brain that receives input from many types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). How many parallel channels exist in the SC, and what information does each encode? Here,

Preference-independent saliency map in the mouse superior colliculus [PDF]
Communications BiologyDetecting salient stimuli in a visual scene is crucial for animal survival, yet how the brain encodes visual saliency remains unclear. Here, using two-photon calcium imaging, we reveal a preference-independent saliency map in the superficial superior ...

Rat superior colliculus encodes the transition between static and dynamic vision modes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe visual continuity illusion involves a shift in visual perception from static to dynamic vision modes when the stimuli arrive at high temporal frequency, and is critical for recognizing objects moving in the environment.

Inhibitory effects of prepulse stimuli on the electrophysiological responses to startle stimuli in the deep layers of the superior colliculus [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundPrepulse inhibition (PPI) is a phenomenon where a weak prepulse stimulus inhibits the startle reflex to a subsequent stronger stimulus, which can be induced by various sensory stimulus modalities such as visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli ...
