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 mechanism of saccade motor pattern generation investigated by a large-scale spiking neuron model of the superior colliculus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The subcortical saccade-generating system consists of the retina, superior colliculus, cerebellum and brainstem motoneuron areas. The superior colliculus is the site of sensory-motor convergence within this basic visuomotor loop preserved throughout the ...

The connections of the inferior colliculus and the organization of the brainstem auditory system in the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) [PDF]
, 1981 The connections of the inferior colliculus, the mammalian midbrain auditory center, were determined in the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), using the horseradish peroxidase method.

Current Biology, 2004 Considerable progress has been made in understanding the sensory and motor functions of the superior colliculus and how these interact to produce behavioral responses. The organization of the sensory and motor maps, and the close relationship between them, has rendered this midbrain structure the region of choice for addressing a number of fundamental ...

The human superior colliculus: Neither necessary, nor sufficient for consciousness? [PDF]
, 2007 Non-invasive neuroimaging in humans permits direct investigation of the potential role for mesodiencephalic structures in consciousness. Activity in the superior colliculus can be correlated with the contents of consciousness, but it can be also ...

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 ...

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.

Evidence that indirect inhibition of saccade initiation improves saccade accuracy [PDF]
, 2010 Saccadic eye-movements to a visual target are less accurate if there are distracters close to its location (local distracters). The addition of more distracters, remote from the target location (remote distracters), invokes an involuntary increase in the

In vivo whole-cell recording from morphologically identified mouse superior colliculus neurons
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: In vivo whole-cell recording, when combined with morphological characterization after biocytin labeling, is a powerful technique to study subthreshold synaptic processing in cell-type-identified neuronal populations.
