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 ...

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.

Functional Organisation of the Mouse Superior Colliculus
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 The superior colliculus (SC) is a highly conserved area of the mammalian midbrain that is widely implicated in the organisation and control of behaviour.

Impaired Auditory Temporal Selectivity in the Inferior Colliculus of Aged Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
, 2011 Aged humans show severe difficulties in temporal auditory processing tasks (e.g., speech recognition in noise, low-frequency sound localization, gap detection). A degradation of auditory function with age is also evident in experimental animals.

Visual Functions of the Primate Superior Colliculus
Annual Review of Vision Science, 2023 The superior colliculus (SC) is a subcortical brain structure that is relevant for sensation, cognition, and action. In nonhuman primates, a rich history of studies has provided unprecedented detail about this structure's role in controlling orienting behaviors; as a result, the primate SC has become primarily regarded as a motor control structure ...

Spatial frequency sensitivity in macaque midbrain
Nature Communications, 2018 In primates, the superior colliculus (SC) contributes to rapid visual exploration with saccades. Here the authors show that the superior colliculus preferentially represents low spatial frequencies, which are the most prevalent in natural scenes.
