Researchers have discovered that a brain area preserved through evolution, called the superior colliculus, is more crucial for vision than we thought. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for ...

The superior colliculus in the mammalian brain takes on many important tasks by making sense of our environment. Any mistakes during the development of this brain region can lead to severe ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

A new study suggests that the superior colliculus, a small pea-sized region in the human brain plays a more significant role than previously thought. The study says that superior colliculus has been ...

Nestled deep in the middle of the vertebrate brain is a multi-sensory integration and movement control center called the superior colliculus. In rodents, this brain region integrates multi-sensory ...

As a neuroscience undergraduate, I was fortunate enough to spend time in the university’s dissection room. This was when I laid eyes on a human brain for the first time – and I was fascinated. The ...

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) report that a brain region in the superior temporal sulcus (fSTS) is crucial for processing and making decisions about visual information. The findings, ...
