Journal of IntelligenceIn all vertebrates, visual signals from each visual field project to the opposite midbrain tectum (called the superior colliculus in mammals). The tectum/colliculus computes visual salience to select targets for context-contingent visually guided ...

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004 We investigated the level of expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the retinorecipient layers of the rat superior colliculus during early postnatal development. Male and female Lister rats ranging in age between the day of birth (P0) and

Automated Segmentation of the Pituitary and Pineal Glands
Human Brain Mapping, Volume 46, Issue 15, October 15, 2025.This work presents a deep‐learning‐based tool for automatic segmentation of the pituitary and pineal glands. It has two novel aspects: it considers the anterior and posterior lobes as separate labels rather than a single, combined structure, and it is also the first deep‐learning protocol for pineal gland segmentation. ABSTRACT The pituitary and pineal

The sifting of visual information in the superior colliculus
eLife, 2020 Much of the early visual system is devoted to sifting the visual scene for the few bits of behaviorally relevant information. In the visual cortex of mammals, a hierarchical system of brain areas leads eventually to the selective encoding of important ...

Brain‐Wide Spatiotemporally Distinct Traveling Waves Drive Anxiety‐Like Behaviors in Mice
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 40, October 27, 2025.J.Liu et al. reveal the complete propagation dynamics of cortical traveling waves, from local circuitry initiation to long‐range propagation, and identify their functional relevance in modulating anxiety‐like behaviors and underlying cellular neuroplasticity in mice.

How Laminar Frontal Cortex and Basal Ganglia Circuits Interact to Control Planned and Reactive Saccades [PDF]
, 2000 The basal ganglia and frontal cortex together allow animals to learn adaptive responses that acquire rewards when prepotent reflexive responses are insufficient.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 Projections to the inferior colliculus from the lateral and medial superior olivary nuclei were studied in the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) with neuroanatomical tract-tracing methods. The terminal fields of projecting axons were labeled via anterograde

The superior colliculus directs goal-oriented forelimb movements
Cell ReportsSummary: Skilled forelimb control is essential for daily living, yet our understanding of its neural mechanisms, although extensive, remains incomplete. Here, we present evidence that the superior colliculus (SC), a major midbrain structure, is necessary

Stereological analysis of the vascular network in superior colliculi [PDF]
Scripta Medica, 2020 Background/Aim: Superior colliculi have an important role in the visual system, some motor functions and behaviour. Branches of the posterior cerebral artery and surrounding vessels form a collicular arterial network, which gives rise to several ...
