The superior colliculus encodes gaze commands in retinal coordinates
The superior colliculus (SC) has a topographic map of visual space, but the spatial nature of its output command for orienting gaze shifts remains unclear. Here we show that the SC codes neither ...

Mice use their tongues to 'see' tactile targets: Neural pathway discovery could help treat neurological disorders
The superior colliculus contains a map of the visual field on its surface, Ito said. The new discovery indicates that it contains a map of the tongue's surface, too. "It's not intuitive," Goldberg ...

The Ephs and Ephrins Hardwire the Nervous System
The process of RGC pathfinding toward the superior colliculus is extremely well orchestrated, with RGC axons originating from specific fields within the retina terminating in specific zones within ...
