Left-right alternation of superior colliculus activity with the stepping rhythm

The paper shows that superior colliculus neurons in mice fire at opposite phases of the stepping rhythm, supporting left-right turn coordination during locomotion.

Hippocampal representations of possible futures predict motor output in the superior colliculus

The paper shows that hippocampal representations of possible future paths predict motor output in the superior colliculus during navigation.

Vision shapes neural maps of space through an ancient midbrain pathway

The paper shows that visual signals reach the hippocampus through a conserved midbrain pathway, enabling spatial maps even after visual cortex ablation.
