Distinct Representation and Distribution of Visual Information by Specific Cell Types in Mouse Superficial Superior Colliculus

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014
The superficial superior colliculus (sSC) occupies a critical node in the mammalian visual system; it is one of two major retinorecipient areas, receives visual cortical input, and innervates visual thalamocortical circuits. Nonetheless, the contribution

The superior colliculus directs goal-oriented forelimb movements

Cell Reports
Summary: Skilled forelimb control is essential for daily living, yet our understanding of its neural mechanisms, although extensive, remains incomplete. Here, we present evidence that the superior colliculus (SC), a major midbrain structure, is necessary

Visual cortex modulates the magnitude but not the selectivity of looming-evoked responses in the superior colliculus of awake mice.

Neuron, 2014
Neural circuits in the brain often receive inputs from multiple sources, such as the bottom-up input from early processing stages and the top-down input from higher-order areas.

It's all in the eyes: subcortical and cortical activation during grotesqueness perception in autism [PDF]

, 2013
Atypical face processing plays a key role in social interaction difficulties encountered by individuals with autism. In the current fMRI study, the Thatcher illusion was used to investigate several aspects of face processing in 20 young adults with high ...

Patterns of convergence in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus of the Mongolian gerbil: organization of inputs from the superior olivary complex in the low frequency representation

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
Projections to the inferior colliculus from the lateral and medial superior olivary nuclei were studied in the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) with neuroanatomical tract-tracing methods. The terminal fields of projecting axons were labeled via anterograde

Neuronal responses to face-like and facial stimuli in the monkey superior colliculus

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
The superficial layers of the superior colliculus (sSC) appear to function as a subcortical visual pathway that bypasses the striate cortex for the rapid processing of coarse facial information.

Neuromodulation of Whisking Related Neural Activity in Superior Colliculus

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014
The superior colliculus is part of a broader neural network that can decode whisker movements in air and on objects, which is a strategy used by behaving rats to sense the environment.
