| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: The superior colliculus (SC), or tectum, is a midbrain structure in vertebrates critical for directing eye movements[1]. It possesses neurons that are highly sensitive to moving stimuli[2]. To date, functional imaging has only been used to study the SC’s response to a stimulus moving at one speed[3]. Few fMRI studies have been conducted on the human SC because of technical challenges[4-5]. The rat SC occupies a significantly larger portion of the brain and receives a greater fraction of retinal projections. Thus, the rat is more suitable for studying SC function. In this study, we apply … |
