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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nonlinear visuoauditory integration in the mouse superior colliculus.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 Sensory information from different modalities is processed in parallel, and then integrated in associative brain areas to improve object identification and the interpretation of sensory experiences.

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.

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.
