Researchers have discovered that a brain area preserved through evolution, called the superior colliculus, is more crucial for vision than we thought. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for ...

To improve the visual analysis of behaviorally relevant objects, we and other primates make spatially accurate saccades to move the images of such objects onto the fovea. However, well before such ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

The superior colliculus in the mammalian brain takes on many important tasks by making sense of our environment. Any mistakes during the development of this brain region can lead to severe ...

As a neuroscience undergraduate, I was fortunate enough to spend time in the university’s dissection room. This was when I laid eyes on a human brain for the first time – and I was fascinated. The ...

A new study suggests that the superior colliculus, a small pea-sized region in the human brain plays a more significant role than previously thought. The study says that superior colliculus has been ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have defined a crucial window of time that mice need to key in on visual events. As the brain processes visual information, an evolutionarily conserved ...

The superior colliculus in the mammalian brain takes on many important tasks by making sense of our environment. Any mistakes during the development of this brain region can lead to severe ...

Having two eyes is crucial to escaping danger, according to a new study conducted by an international team of researchers. According to the first author of the paper, Assistant Professor Robin ...
