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 …

Organisms control their visual worlds by moving their eyes, heads, and bodies. This control
of “gaze” or “looking” is key to survival and intelligence, but our investigation of the …

Sensorimotor transformation is the process of first sensing an object in the environment and
then producing a movement in response to that stimulus. For visually guided saccades …

The midbrain superior colliculus is a crucial sensorimotor stage for programming and
generating saccadic eye-head gaze shifts. Although it is well established that superior …

Movement control is critical for successful interaction with our environment. However,
movement does not occur in complete isolation of sensation, and this is particularly true of …

The primate posterior parietal cortex (PPC) withholds a unified representation of the visual
space supporting visual exploration, while the hippocampus (HPC) provides a memory …

We normally perceive a stable visual environment despite eye movements. To achieve such
stability, visual processing integrates information across a given saccade, and laboratory …

Microsaccades are known to be associated with a deficit in perceptual detection
performance for brief probe flashes presented in their temporal vicinity. However, it is still not …

Visual neural processing is distributed among a multitude of sensory and sensory-motor
brain areas exhibiting varying degrees of functional specializations and spatial …

Volitional signals for gaze control are provided by multiple parallel pathways converging on
the midbrain superior colliculus (SC), whose deeper layers output to the brainstem gaze …
