Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

New research reveals that an area in the brain known as the inferior colliculus plays a critical role in processing both sound and touch in the form of mechanical vibrations to create an augmented ...

Using two different comparisons of varying saccade types, a systematic analysis of saccade-related activity in superior colliculus (SC) neurons demonstrates that SC motor bursts do not dictate the ...

Researchers have discovered that a brain area preserved through evolution, called the superior colliculus, is more crucial for vision than we thought. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for ...

The superior colliculus in the mammalian brain takes on many important tasks by making sense of our environment. Any mistakes during the development of this brain region can lead to severe ...

In the 1860s, physician Hermann von Helmholtz did a simple experiment to understand how the world stays still during eye movements. With a still head, he closed one eye and swiveled the other to look ...
