The paper examines neural activity in the superior colliculus and substantia nigra pars reticulata during head-fixed orienting movements in mice, finding that SNr activity reflects previous trial outcomes while dSC activity shows weaker directional dependence.

The paper investigates how saccades modulate visual representations in the mouse superior colliculus, finding both sensory and motor contributions to this modulation.

This study investigates how the superior colliculus couples target selection and acquisition in mice, showing that choice-predictive neurons increase activity during movement and that an attractor model explains the rostral shift in activity during target acquisition.

This study investigates how Parkinson's disease affects basal ganglia output during movement preparation in mice, finding that internal goal-based movements are more impaired than stimulus-guided ones.

This study investigates how inhibitory midbrain neurons contribute to decision making by testing hypotheses about their role in spatial choice using optogenetics and computational modeling.

The paper identifies monosynaptic inputs to excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the intermediate and deep layers of the superior colliculus, revealing differences in input strength and distribution.
