The superior colliculus is a laminated midbrain structure that acts as one of the centers
organizing gaze movements. This review will concentrate on sensory and motor inputs to the …

The rodent whisker system is widely used as a model system for investigating sensorimotor
integration, neural mechanisms of complex cognitive tasks, neural development, and …

Changing the direction of the line of sight is essential for the visual exploration of our
environment. When the head does not move, re-orientation of the visual axis is …

The motor output of the pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF) was investigated to
determine the reticulospinal system's capacity for bilateral control of the upper limbs …

The midbrain superior colliculus is a crucial sensorimotor stage for programming and
generating saccadic eye-head gaze shifts. Although it is well established that superior …

We have previously suggested that the discharge characteristics of some neurons in the
pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF) are contingent on the simultaneous requirement …

It is known that sensory signals sustain the background discharge of the ascending reticular
activating system (ARAS) which includes the noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) neurons …

This study was designed to determine the contribution of reticular neurons in the
pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF) to the postural responses produced to …

Head direction cells form an internal compass signaling head azimuth orientation even
without visual landmarks. This property is generated by a neuronal ring attractor that is …

The effect of reticular formation excitability on maximum voluntary torque (MVT) generation
and associated muscle activation at the shoulder and elbow was investigated through …
