Responses to texture motion (visual noise) were investigated in the superior colliculus of paralysed cats, lightly anaesthetized with N2O/O2 supplemented with pentobarbitone or Althesin. Within the superficial layers two classes of texture-sensitive neurones were found: Type I units with weak respon
Rats with bilateral lesions of the superior colliculus (SC) or with sham operations were trained on a modified version of the running task of Goodale and Murison (1975). The rats were required to shuttle between two large boxes, one of which required a choice between 5 doors, the other having only 1
Single unit recordings from 220 units were obtained from the nuclei praetectalis anterior (NPA) and posterior (NPP) of 30 immobilized, anesthetized cats. Quantitative analysis of pretectal (PT) visual activity was mainly based on recordings from the NPP. For comparison, 160 collicular (CS) neurons w
Responses to light stimuli of cells in the superior colliculus (SC) were studied in anesthetized and paralyzed rabbits after reversible inactivation of corticocollicular impulses by cooling of the visual cortex. The recording of flash-evoked responses and EEG allowed us to monitor the time course of
