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.

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 ...

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.

Coordination of pupil and saccade responses by the superior colliculus
bioRxiv, 2020 The appearance of a salient stimulus evokes saccadic eye movements and pupil dilation as part of the orienting response. Although the role of the superior colliculus (SC) in saccade and pupil dilation has been established separately, whether and how ...

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 ...

Convergent input from brainstem coincidence detectors onto delay-sensitive neurons in the inferior colliculus. [PDF]
, 1998 Responses of low-frequency neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) of anesthetized guinea pigs were studied with binaural beats to assess their mean best interaural phase (BP) to a range of stimulating frequencies.

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.
