Sensory and motor maps in the mammalian superior colliculus

摘要: Abstract The sudden onset of a novel or behaviorally significant stimulus usually triggers responses that orient the eyes, external ears, head and/or body toward source stimulus. As consequence, reception additional signals originating from source, and sensory guidance appropriate limb movements are facilitated. Converging lines evidence, derived anatomical, electrophysiological lesion experiments, indicate superior colliculus (SC) is an important part neural substrate for generation orienting responses, involved in both localization stimuli initiation 1 .
