"A region called the superior colliculus plays a key role in this process. We examined what happens in the neurons of this ...

In previous research, Bellone's team identified a neuronal communication pathway whose role is to send information between the superior colliculus, a brain structure linked to orientation ...

The newly discovered circuit first engages an evolutionarily ancient part of the brain called the superior colliculus, which can then trigger the eyes and head to turn for a better look.

Dec. 13, 2023 — 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 ...

These findings help answer that question.” For the study, researchers focused on mouse retinal ganglion cells, which project from the retina to a region of the brain called the superior colliculus ...
