The evidence is compelling that the deep layers of the SC are involved in the translation of
sensory signals into motor commands for the control of saccadic eye movements. The deep …

The ability to integrate information from different sensory systems is a fundamental
characteristic of the brain. Because different bits of information are derived from different …

Convergence of inputs from different sensory modalities onto individual neurons is a
phenomenon that occurs widely throughout the brain at many phyletic levels and appears to …

The responses of superior colliculus cells to a given sensory stimulus were influenced by the
presence or absence of other sensory cues. By pooling sensory inputs, many superior …

We have investigated the responses of neurones in the guinea-pig superior colliculus to
combinations of visual and auditory stimuli. When these stimuli were presented separately …

A comprehensive search for subcortical projections to the cat superior colliculus was
conducted using the retrograde horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. Over 40 different …

The boundaries of the second somatic sensory cortex (SII) in primates are difficult to define
physiologically because cutaneous stimulation activates several regions around SII that do …

Because of its importance in forming an appropriate picture of the external world, the
representation of sensory information has been a powerful driving force in EVOLUTION …

Bimodal neurons in the rattlesnake tectum, which receive sensory input from the retina and
from the infrared-sensing pit organ, exhibit novel, highly nonlinear cross-modality …

Redirected growth of the optic tract in hamsters with lesions of the midbrain tectum at birth
results in anomalous retinal projections with correlated functional effects; these include a …
