1. Extracellular recordings were made from single superior colliculus neurons in urethane-
anesthetized rats in response to mechanical and/or thermal stimulation of the skin. In …

There are many somatosensory neurons in the hamster superior colliculus (SC); some
respond to innocuous tactile stimuli, while others respond either preferentially, or solely, to …

Recordings were made from single SI cortical neurons in the anesthetized macaque
monkey. Each isolated cortical neuron was tested for responses to a standard series of …

Accumulating evidence suggests that the rodent superior colliculus (SC) plays as important
a role in avoidance and defensive behaviours as it does in orientation and approach. These …

The organization and response properties of nociceptive neurons in area 1 of the primary
somatosensory cortex (SI) of anesthetized monkeys were examined. The receptive fields of …

A wealth of evidence implicates the crossed descending projection from the superior
colliculus (SC) in orientation and approach behaviours directed towards novel, non-noxious …

Neurons in the strata intermediale and profundum of the cat superior colliculus (SC)
previously have been shown to be organized somatotopically and to respond to tactile …

1. We examined the activity of thermally sensitive trigeminothalamic neurons and
nonprojection neurons in the medullary dorsal horn (trigeminal nucleus caudalis) in three …

The deep layers of the rodent superior colliculus contain a vibrissae-related organization
that is in" spatial register" with the overlying visuotopic organization (Drager and Hubel,'76) …

2. Similar to medullary dorsal horn neurons in anesthetized monkeys, nociceptive neurons
in the awake monkey could be classified as wide dynamic range (WDR) or nociceptive …
