Abstract

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 participates in preserving fixation during intersaccadic intervals. This review highlights the repertoire of movements attributed to SC function and analyzes the significance of results obtained from causality-based experiments (microstimulation and inactivation). The mechanisms potentially used to decode the population activity in the SC into an appropriate movement command are also discussed.

The superior colliculus is involved in the detection of visually salient stimuli to drive oculomotor responses.
“Located in the tectal region of the midbrain, it is known to be involved in the detection of visually salient stimuli to drive oculomotor responses (Wurtz and Albano 1980; Gandhi and Katnani 2011; White et al. 2017).”

Oxytocin receptors are expressed in areas involved in saccadic eye movements, including the superficial grey layer of the superior colliculus, deeper layers, the oculomotor nucleus, and the nucleus prepositus.
“In areas involved in saccadic eye movements in response to visual stimuli, OXTR is expressed in the superficial grey layer of the SC (Fig. 2), as well as deeper layers, and in the oculomotor nucleus (III) and the nucleus prepositus, which are two brainstem motor nuclei that control the muscles of the eye and participate in the horizontal gaze stabilisation system, respectively (41-43).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
