J Cang, C Chen, C Li, Y Liu - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
The superior colliculus (SC) is a conserved midbrain structure that is important for
transforming visual and other sensory information into motor actions. Decades of …

The dorsal thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus is required for visual control of head direction cell firing direction in rats

JS Street, KJ Jeffery - The Journal of Physiology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Head direction (HD) neurons, signalling facing direction, generate a signal that is primarily
anchored to the outside world by visual inputs. We investigated the route for visual landmark …
