The superior colliculus (SC) is a dome-shaped subcortical laminar structure in the
mammalian midbrain, whose superficial layers receive visual information from the retina in a …

The rodents are an increasingly important model for understanding the mechanisms of
development, plasticity, functional specialization and disease in the visual system. However …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a multimodal laminar structure located on the roof of the brain
stem. The SC is a key structure in a distributed network of areas that mediate saccadic eye …

Subcortical nuclei in the thalamus, which play an important role in many functions of the
human brain, provide challenging targets for functional mapping with neuroimaging …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a layered structure located in the midbrain. We exploited the
improved spatial resolution and BOLD signal strength available at 9.4 T to investigate the …

We explored anatomical details of the superior colliculus (SC) by in vivo magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) at 9.4 T. The high signal-to-noise ratio allowed the acquisition of …

Brain nuclei directly receiving retinal projections are readily labeled in magnetic resonance
images following intraocular injection of manganese (Mn). To assess whether Mn in retinal …

Traditionally, depiction of isolated CNS fiber tracts is achieved by histological post mortem
studies. As a tracer-dependent strategy, the calcium analog manganese has proved …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has provided intriguing insights into the
topography and functional organization of visual cortical areas in the human brain. However …

Due to recent advances of genetic manipulation, mouse brain has become a useful model
for studying brain function, which demands whole brain functional mapping techniques in …
