Motor functions of the superior colliculus.
The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) and its nonmammalian homolog, the optic tectum, constitute a major node in processing sensory information, incorporating cognitive factors, and issuing motor commands. The resulting action-to orient toward or away from a stimulus-can be accomplished as an integrated movement across oculomotor, cephalomotor, and skeletomotor effectors. The SC also participa...
متن کاملVisual-motor function of the primate superior colliculus.
One of the major functions of the brain, and probably the original function of all nervous systems, is to produce movement in response to sensory stimulation. In recent years one case of such sensory-motor function, the visual initiation of eye movements, has been studied extensively. Much of this work has centered on the most obvious candidate for visual-motor guidance, the superior colliculus...
متن کاملSensorimotor integration in the primate superior colliculus. I. Motor convergence.
Orienting movements of the eyes and head are made to both auditory and visual stimuli even though in the primary sensory pathways the locations of auditory and visual stimuli are encoded in different coordinates. This study was designed to differentiate between two possible mechanisms for sensory-to-motor transformation. Auditory and visual signals could be translated into common coordinates in...

But the new research reports results from six sea-floor acoustic recorders placed in the western George’s Bank off Cape Cod deployed in two triangular arrays each of three devices. The recorders were placed around 3 kilometres apart in the triangular array and the centre of two sets were 18.4 kms apart. Based upon the detection of song from one wh...
