Abstract:The midbrain superior colliculus (SC) is a crucial sensorimotor stage for programming and execution of saccadic eye-head gaze shifts. Although it is well established that cells in the SC encode a neural command that specifies the coordinates of the upcoming gaze-shift vector, there is controversy about the role of the firing rate dynamics of SC neurons in generating saccades. In our earlier work, we proposed a simple quantitative model that explains how the recruited SC population specifies the detailed kinema… Show more
