Stimulus edges induce orientation tuning in superior colliculus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Orientation columns exist in the primary visual cortex (V1) of cat and primates but not mouse. Intriguingly, some recent studies reported the presence of orientation and direction columns in the mouse superficial superior colliculus (sSC), while others ...

Visual and eye movement functions of the posterior parietal cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Lesions of the posterior parietal area in humans produce interesting spatial-perceptual and spatial-behavioral deficits. Among the more important deficits observed are loss of spatial memories, problems representing spatial relations in models or ...

Superior sensation: superior colliculus participation in rat vibrissa system

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background The superior colliculus, usually considered a visuomotor structure, is anatomically positioned to perform sensorimotor transformations in other modalities.

Cuneiform Nucleus Stimulation Can Assist Gait Training to Promote Locomotor Recovery in Individuals With Incomplete Tetraplegia

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Impaired ability to induce stepping after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can limit the efficacy of locomotor training, often leaving patients wheelchair‐bound. The cuneiform nucleus (CNF), a key mesencephalic locomotor control center, modulates the activity of spinal locomotor centers via the reticulospinal tract.

Cervical dystonia: a disorder of the midbrain network for covert attentional orienting.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2014
While the pathogenesis of cervical dystonia remains unknown, recent animal and clinical experimental studies have indicated its probable mechanisms. Abnormal temporal discrimination is a mediational endophenotype of cervical dystonia and informs new ...

Sex Differences in Auditory Brainstem Responses of Two Rat Models of Autism: Environmental and Genetic Contributions to Autism‐Like Auditory Function

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism is an early‐onset neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by restricted, repetitive behaviors and atypical patterns of social communication and interaction. A considerable proportion of autistic individuals experience divergent auditory perception, which can interfere with their ability to navigate everyday sound environments ...

A Core Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy Syllabus for Physical Therapy Student Education

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Head, neck, and neuroanatomy are essential components of physical therapy education due to their broad clinical applications. Detailed syllabi exist for medical students, yet none have been developed for physical therapy. This study aimed to produce an International Federation of Associations of Anatomists core head, neck, and neuroanatomy ...

Dendritic and axonal targeting patterns of a genetically-specified class of retinal ganglion cells that participate in image-forming circuits. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundThere are numerous functional types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), each participating in circuits that encode a specific aspect of the visual scene.

Brainstem Alzheimer's-like pathology in the triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2009
The triple transgenic mouse (3xTgAD), harboring human APPSwe, PS1M146V and TauP301L genes, develops age-dependent forebrain intraneuronal Aβ and tau as well as extraneuronal plaques.

Superior Colliculus to VTA pathway controls orienting response and influences social interaction in mice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Solié, Contestabile et al. show that the superior colliculus to ventral tegmental area (VTA) pathway encodes orienting behavior toward conspecifics, and modulates VTA dopamine neurons projecting onto dorsolateral striatum perturbing social interaction.
