Inhibitory effects of prepulse stimuli on the electrophysiological responses to startle stimuli in the deep layers of the superior colliculus [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundPrepulse inhibition (PPI) is a phenomenon where a weak prepulse stimulus inhibits the startle reflex to a subsequent stronger stimulus, which can be induced by various sensory stimulus modalities such as visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli ...

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

The Superior Colliculus: Cell Types, Connectivity, and Behavior
Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022 The superior colliculus (SC), one of the most well-characterized midbrain sensorimotor structures where visual, auditory, and somatosensory information are integrated to initiate motor commands, is highly conserved across vertebrate evolution.

Unraveling circuits of visual perception and cognition through the superior colliculus.
Neuron, 2021 The superior colliculus is a conserved sensorimotor structure that integrates visual and other sensory information to drive reflexive behaviors. Although the evidence for this is strong and compelling, a number of experiments reveal a role for the ...

Current Biology, 2021 The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but also through electrosensation, infrared detection, and other sensory

Nature Neuroscience, 2021 Trained monkeys performed a two-choice perceptual decision-making task in which they reported the perceived orientation of a dynamic Glass pattern, before and after unilateral, reversible, inactivation of a brainstem area—the superior colliculus (SC ...

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 ...
