Autism Pathogenesis: The Superior Colliculus [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
After been exposed to the visual input, in the first year of life, the brain experiences subtle but massive changes apparently crucial for communicative/emotional and social human development. Its lack could be the explanation of the very high prevalence

Superior colliculus modulates cortical coding of somatosensory information

Nature Communications, 2020
While there is no direct pathway from the superior colliculus to the cortex, the authors find that the superior colliculus modulates sensory-evoked responses in the somatosensory cortex.

The Distinct Role of the Amygdala, Superior Colliculus and Pulvinar in Processing of Central and Peripheral Snakes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Visual processing of ecologically relevant stimuli involves a central bias for stimuli demanding detailed processing (e.g., faces), whereas peripheral object processing is based on coarse identification.

Organization of the inputs and outputs of the mouse superior colliculus

Nature Communications, 2021
The superior colliculus (SC) receives diverse cortical inputs to drive many behaviors. Here, based on comprehensive mapping of cortico-tectal projections, the authors refined the superior colliculus into medial, centromedial, centrolateral, and lateral ...

Functional Organisation of the Mouse Superior Colliculus

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
The superior colliculus (SC) is a highly conserved area of the mammalian midbrain that is widely implicated in the organisation and control of behaviour.

The Mouse Superior Colliculus: An Emerging Model for Studying Circuit Formation and Function [PDF]

Front. Neural Circuits, 2018
The superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain area where visual, auditory and somatosensory information are integrated to initiate motor commands. The SC plays a central role in visual information processing in the mouse; it receives projections from 85% to

Prenatal VPA exposure and changes in sensory processing by the superior colliculus [PDF]

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2011
Disorders involving dysfunctional sensory processing are characterized by an inability to filter sensory information, particularly simultaneously arriving multimodal inputs. We examined the effects of prenatal exposure to valproic acid (VPA), a teratogen

The Foveal Visual Representation of the Primate Superior Colliculus [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2019
Processing of foveal retinal input is important not only for high quality visual scene analysis, but also for ensuring precise, albeit tiny, gaze shifts during high acuity visual tasks.

Visual Functions of the Primate Superior Colliculus.

Annual Review of Vision Science, 2023
The superior colliculus (SC) is a subcortical brain structure that is relevant for sensation, cognition, and action. In nonhuman primates, a rich history of studies has provided unprecedented detail about this structure's role in controlling orienting ...

Orientation and Contrast Tuning Properties and Temporal Flicker Fusion Characteristics of Primate Superior Colliculus Neurons

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018
The primate superior colliculus is traditionally studied from the perspectives of gaze control, target selection, and selective attention. However, this structure is also visually responsive, and it is the primary visual structure in several species ...
