Historically, research on emotion perception has focused on facial expressions, and findings
from this modality have come to dominate our thinking about other modalities. Here we …

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 …

When conflicts occur during integration of visual and auditory information, one modality often
dominates the other, but the underlying neural circuit mechanism remains unclear. Using …

We cannot help but impute emotions to the behaviors of others, and constantly infer not only
what others are feeling, but also why they feel that way. The comprehension of other …

The tectum has long been known as a hub of visual processing, and recent studies have
elucidated many of the circuit-level mechanisms by which tectal neurons filter visual …

Motion perception is crucial to animal survival and effective environmental interactions. In
mammals, detection of movement begins in the retina. Directionally selective (DS) retinal …

Behavioural performance requires a coherent perception of environmental features that
address multiple senses. These diverse sensory inputs are integrated in primary sensory …

Both the global neuronal workspace (GNW) and integrated information theory (IIT) posit that
highly complex and interconnected networks engender perceptual awareness. GNW …

Multisensory integration is a process by which signals from different sensory modalities are
combined to facilitate detection and localization of external events. One substrate for …

Subcortical brain regions are absolutely essential for normal human function. These
phylogenetically early brain regions play critical roles in human behaviors such as the …
