The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

The superior colliculus is one of the most well-studied structures in the brain, and with each
new report, its proposed role in behavior seems to increase in complexity. Forty years of …

There must be a reason why an experience feels the way it does. A good place to begin
addressing this question is spatial experience, because it may be more penetrable by …

The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) and its nonmammalian homolog, the optic tectum,
constitute a major node in processing sensory information, incorporating cognitive factors …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain area where visual, auditory and somatosensory
information are integrated to initiate motor commands. The SC plays a central role in visual …

The execution of goal-oriented behaviours requires a spatially coherent alignment between
sensory and motor maps. The current model for sensorimotor transformation in the superior …

Every aspect of visual perception and behavior is built from the neural activity of retinal
ganglion cells (RGCs), the output neurons of the eye. Here, we review progress toward …

Background Visual information conveyed through the extrageniculate visual pathway, which
runs from the retina via the superior colliculus (SC) and the lateral posterior nucleus (LPN) of …

Saccadic suppression, a behavioral phenomenon in which perceptual thresholds are
elevated before, during, and after saccadic eye movements, is an important mechanism for …

The superior colliculus is a conserved sensorimotor structure that integrates visual and other
sensory information to drive reflexive behaviors. Although the evidence for this is strong and …
