The superior colliculus
encountering each other on the migration south. But the new research reports results from six sea-floor acoustic recorders placed in the western George’s Bank off Cape Cod deployed in two triangular arrays each of three devices. The recorders were placed around 3 kilometres apart in the triangular array and the centre of two sets were 18.4 kms apart. Based upon the detection of song from one wh...
متن کاملSuperior Colliculus Does Play Dice
Random is not a word often used in describing nervous system organization and its development. Yet, in this issue of Neuron, Owens et al. (2015) identify stochastic interactions of molecular and activity-dependent forces that can produce heterogeneous retinocollicular maps.
متن کاملTarget selection, attention, and the superior colliculus
Consistent with the target article, recent evidence indicates that the superior colliculus (SC) is somehow involved in target selection. However, it is not yet known whether this function is inherent to the SC or inherited from its inputs, how the selection process occurs for different movements, or how target selection by the SC is related to covert selection (i.e., attention). It has been rec...

The superior colliculus plays an important role in the translation of sensory signals that encode the location of objects in space into motor signals that encode vectors of the shifts in gaze direction called saccades. Since the late 1990s, our two laboratories have been applying whole cell patch-clamp techniques to in vitro slice preparations of rodent superior colliculus to analyze the struct...
متن کاملVocal premotor activity in the superior colliculus.
Chronic neural recordings were taken from the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) of echolocating bats while they were engaged in one of two distinct behavioral tasks: virtual target amplitude discrimination (VTAD) and real oscillating target tracking (ROTT). In the VTAD task, bats used a limited range of sonar call features to discriminate the amplitude category of echoes, whereas in the ROTT ta...
