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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Effects of Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation on Trigeminal Blink Reflex Excitability
Brain Sciences, 2021 Recent evidence indicates that transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) modulates sensorimotor cortex excitability. However, no study has assessed possible TUS effects on the excitability of deeper brain areas, such as the brainstem.

Intrinsic connectivity of human superior colliculus [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research, 2005 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 premotor neurons.

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 ...
