Differences in activity between the left and right superior colliculi help researchers predict whether an animal was seeing an event. Read More
Researchers have identified a novel, pain sensing network that links the subthalamic nucleus to a pain processing network in mouse models of Parkinson's disease. Read More
Researchers report within the first weeks of life, deaf cats have reduced connections between the anterior ectosylvian sulcus and the superior colliculus. However, deaf cats have increased connections from other auditory areas to the superior colliculus. Read More
A new study sheds light on the neural mechanism behind why some people with autism are unable to make eye contact with others. Read More
Researchers report an ancient area of the midbrain in all vertebrates can independently control and re-orientate the eyes. Read More
A new study identifies how the brain processes visual stimuli above and below the horizon differently. Read More
Researchers hope their findings can help develop a better understanding why sensory integration sometimes goes awry, contributing to disorders such as autism. Read More
When it comes to attention, researchers report tiny eye movements filter important stimuli and relay that information to the brain. Read More
