Superior colliculus encodes distance to target, not saccade amplitude, in multi-step gaze shifts
The superior colliculus (SC) is important for generating coordinated eye–head gaze saccades. Its deeper layers contain a retinotopically organized motor map in which each site is thought to ...

Functional imaging of the primate superior colliculus during saccades to visual targets | Nature Neuroscience
The primate superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain nucleus crucial for the control of rapid eye movements (saccades). Its neurons are topographically arranged over the rostrocaudal and ...

It's now or never: Visual events have 100 milliseconds to hit brain target or go unnoticed - Medical Xpress
The superior colliculus provides the majority of early visual processing in these animals. In primates, a highly complex visual cortex takes over more of this visual processing load, ...
