This report contains a gene expression summary of the inferior colliculus (IC), derived from the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) in-situ hybridization (ISH) mouse data set. The structure’s location and ...

This integration of sound and touch in the inferior colliculus of the midbrain, Ginty said, helps explain how we can both hear and physically feel the music at a concert, ...

A midbrain structure responsible for eye movement has been discovered that also plays a key role in cognitive perception and ...

The significance and consistency of the gradients apparent in both inferior colliculi of all tested animals (Supplementary Fig. 3) demonstrate that the two fundamental sound dimensions, frequency ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

A previously under-investigated midbrain region called the superior colliculus (SC) may play a vital role in the ability to pay attention, according to a new study by neuroscientists at the Indian ...

Regarding the researchers’ future plans, Dr. Kremkow says: “Now that we understand the functional, mosaic-like connections between retinal ganglion cells and neurons within the superior colliculi, we ...

Washington [US], September 13 (ANI): Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain.

Many unanswered questions remain, including details of the way in which visual information is processed in the midbrain’s superior colliculi. Retinal ganglion cells, ...

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the ...
