The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

The superior colliculus is a conserved sensorimotor structure that integrates visual and other
sensory information to drive reflexive behaviors. Although the evidence for this is strong and …

Implantable devices and systems have been emerging as powerful tools for neuroscience
research and medical applications. Here we report a wireless, dual-channel optoelectronic …

Evading or escaping from predators is one of the most crucial issues for survival across the
animal kingdom. The timely detection of predators and the initiation of appropriate fight-or …

Superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain structure that integrates sensory inputs and generates
motor commands to initiate innate motor behaviors. Its retinorecipient superficial layers …

A fundamental goal of systems neuroscience is to understand the neural mechanisms
underlying decision making. The midbrain superior colliculus (SC) is known to be central to …

Rodents use their whiskers to explore the environment, and the superior colliculus is part of
the neural circuits that process this sensorimotor information. Cells in the intermediate layers …

Electrical intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) at various sites along the cervical spinal cord
permits forelimb muscle activation, elicits complex limb movements and may enhance …

The firing rate of the mitral/tufted cells in the olfactory bulb is known to undergo significant
trial-to-trial variability and is affected by anesthesia. Here we ask whether odorant-elicited …

Successful completion of sensory decision-making requires focusing on relevant stimuli,
adequate signal/noise ratio for stimulus discrimination, and stimulus valence evaluation …
