Visual functions of the primate superior colliculus
The superior colliculus (SC) is a subcortical brain structure that is relevant for sensation,
cognition, and action. In nonhuman primates, a rich history of studies has provided …

A differential circuit via retino-colliculo-pulvinar pathway enhances feature selectivity in visual cortex through surround suppression
In the mammalian visual system, information from the retina streams into parallel bottom-up
pathways. It remains unclear how these pathways interact to contribute to contextual …

An afferent white matter pathway from the pulvinar to the amygdala facilitates fear recognition
Our ability to rapidly detect threats is thought to be subserved by a subcortical pathway that
quickly conveys visual information to the amygdala. This neural shortcut has been …

Responses of human ankle muscles to mediolateral balance perturbations during walking
AL Hof, J Duysens - Human movement science, 2018 - Elsevier
During walking our balance is maintained by muscle action. In part these muscle actions
automatically respond to the imbalance. This paper considers responses to balance …
