| 21. | Superior colliculus ( SC ) is the topographical map for balance and quick orienting movements with primarily visual inputs.
|
| 22. | This marks the end of the pons as the inferior colliculus is directly rostral and marks the caudal midbrain.
|
| 23. | The colliculus as a whole is thought to help orient the head and eyes toward something seen and heard.
|
| 24. | The SNpr projects to the deep layer of the superior colliculus thus controlling fast eye movements ( saccades ).
|
| 25. | These small arteries supply portions of the midbrain, especially the superior colliculus, inferior colliculus, and tectum.
|
| 26. | These small arteries supply portions of the midbrain, especially the superior colliculus, inferior colliculus, and tectum.
|
| 27. | "In every mammalian brain, there's a special portion of neural tissue called the superior colliculus.
|
| 28. | The superior colliculus is involved with saccadic eye movements; while the inferior is a synapsing point for sound information.
|
| 29. | In addition to their distinctive inputs, the superficial and deep zones of the superior colliculus also have distinctive outputs.
|
| 30. | There is some lateralization, the dorsal projections ( containing vertical data ) only project to the contralateral inferior colliculus.
