โฆ Synopsis
Electrophysiological mapping techniques were used to determine the representation of the central field of vision in the superior colliculus of the albino rat. The retinotopic map for the contralateral eye is similar to that found in other mammals. There is an unexpected extensive binocular segment subserving the central 40 degrees of the ipsilateral hemifield as well as the central 40 degrees of the contralateral hemifield in the rostrolateral portion of the tectum.

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
We tested the hypothesis that averaging saccades occur when two different saccades are prepared and executed simultaneously. The activity of saccade-related burst neurons (SRBNs) in the primate superior colliculus was recorded while monkeys made both non-averaging saccades to single targets and aver
