Neurons in the rostral superior colliculus (SC) of alert cats exhibit quasi-sustained discharge
patterns related to the fixation of visual targets. Because some SC neurons also respond to …

1. Recent studies of the monkey superior colliculus (SC) have identified several types of
cells in the intermediate layers (including burst, buildup, and fixation neurons) and the …

Single unit activity was studied in the intermediate and deep layers of the superior colliculus
in two trained cats. Eye movements were recorded with a magnetic search coil, the head …

The superior colliculus is known to contain cells discharging before saccadic eye
movements as well as cells responding to sensory stimuli. In this study extracellular single …

1. Movement‐related discharges were recorded from single cells in the superior colliculus of
alert cats while they made eye saccades (with head fixed) or gaze saccades (with head …

The discharge characteristics of saccade-related neurons in the superior colliculi (SC) of
trained cats were investigated in order to understand the involvement of the SC in dynamic …

1. In the companion paper we described two classes of cells in the monkey superior
colliculus (SC) that were related to saccade generation, buildup cells and burst cells, which …

One class of superior colliculus neuron was isolated which meets two criteria for
participation in the initiation of visually elicited saccades. First, the pulse of spike activity …

1. In the monkey superior colliculus (SC), the activity of most saccade-related neurons
studied so far consists of a burst of activity in a population of cells at one place on the SC …

1. Visually elicited discharges were recorded from single cells in the intermediate and deep
layers of the superior colliculus of alert, trained cats. With the behavioural protocols used …
