Locomotion is a universal motor behavior that is expressed as the output of many integrated
brain functions. Locomotion is organized at several levels of the nervous system, with …

Flexibly selecting appropriate actions in response to complex, ever-changing environments
requires both cortical and subcortical regions, which are typically described as participating …

The superior colliculus is a midbrain structure that plays important roles in visually guided
behaviors in mammals. Neurons in the superior colliculus receive inputs from retinal …

The superior colliculus (SC) is a subcortical brain structure that is relevant for sensation,
cognition, and action. In nonhuman primates, a rich history of studies has provided …

A comparison of the vertebrate motor systems of the oldest group of now living vertebrates
(lamprey) with that of mammals shows that there are striking similarities not only in the basic …

The superior colliculus (SC), one of the most well-characterized midbrain sensorimotor
structures where visual, auditory, and somatosensory information are integrated to initiate …

Whereas sensory perception relies on specialized sensory pathways, it is unclear whether
these pathways originate as modality-specific circuits. We demonstrated that somatosensory …

The primary driver of the evolution of the vertebrate nervous system has been the necessity
to move, along with the requirement of controlling the plethora of motor behavioural …

The role of dopamine in the control of movement is traditionally associated with ascending
projections to the basal ganglia. However, more recently descending dopaminergic …

Simple Summary The study of the neurobiological basis of spatial cognition has been
demonstrated to be one of the most exciting, successful, and productive research fields in …
