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

The sifting of visual information in the superior colliculus
eLife, 2020 Much of the early visual system is devoted to sifting the visual scene for the few bits of behaviorally relevant information. In the visual cortex of mammals, a hierarchical system of brain areas leads eventually to the selective encoding of important ...

Characterization of primary visual cortex input to specific cell types in the superior colliculus
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023 The superior colliculus is a critical brain region involved in processing visual information. It receives visual input directly from the retina, as well as via a projection from primary visual cortex. Here we determine which cell types in the superficial

Immunohistochemical localization of serotonin in the superior colliculus of porcupine (Hystrix cristata) [PDF]
QScience Connect, 2012 The distribution and localization of serotonin immunoreactive cells in the superior colliculus of the porcupine (Hystrix cristata) was studied using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method and an antiserum against serotonin.

Neural encoding of instantaneous kinematics of eye-head gaze shifts in monkey superior Colliculus
Communications Biology, 2023 The midbrain superior colliculus is a crucial sensorimotor stage for programming and generating saccadic eye-head gaze shifts. Although it is well established that superior colliculus cells encode a neural command that specifies the amplitude and ...

Whole-body prepulse inhibition protocol to test sensorymotor gating mechanisms in monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is the decrease of startle reflex amplitude when a slight stimulus is previously generated. This paradigm may provide valuable information about sensorimotor gating functionality.

Effect of hypoxia on the retina and superior colliculus of neonatal pigs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 To evaluate the effect of hypoxia on the neonatal pig retina and brain, we analysed the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and neurons in the superior colliculus, as well as the response of astrocytes in both these central nervous system (CNS) structures ...
