Superior colliculus modulates cortical coding of somatosensory information [PDF]
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.

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

Involvement of the Superior Colliculus in SIDS Pathogenesis
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.

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 ...

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

Functional modulation of primary visual cortex by the superior colliculus in the mouse
Nature Communications, 2018 The role of the superior colliculus (SC) in modulating V1 cortical activity is not clear. Here, the authors demonstrate the functional role of SC in modulating V1 responses through an excitatory pathway via the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.

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 ...
