“…A candidate of subcortical source of auditory influence on the DLG is the superior colliculus (SC), which, receiving excitatory and inhibitory auditory inputs (Kimura, Donishi, Okamoto, & Tamai, ; Mellott, Beebe, & Schofield, ), integrates auditory information into visual processing for orienting behaviors (Costa, Piché, Lepore, & Guillemot, ; Meredith & Stein, ; Savage, McQuade, & Thiele, ). Recently, the superficial layers of the SC, the source of tectal afferents to the DLG, have been shown to be subject to auditory influence (Ghose, Maier, Nidiffer, & Wallace, ).…”
