This study investigates how parallel pathways in the superior colliculus cooperate to support visually evoked escape behaviors through cell-type-specific inhibition and functional imaging.

The paper shows that visual-field position shapes input sampling and output routing in the mouse superior colliculus through specialized circuit modules.

The paper shows that dendritic architecture in superior colliculus neurons allows them to selectively process salient motion cues through structured input organization.

The paper examines how ambient light affects innate behaviors in New-World and Old-World mice, finding species-specific responses to different lighting conditions.

This study shows that retinal ganglion cell regenerative potential is linked to their developmental maturation timeline, with sON cells showing greater injury-induced regression than tON cells.

The paper shows that local glycolysis supports axonal regeneration after injury by providing ATP, complementing mitochondrial metabolism.

The paper shows orientation maps in the superior colliculus are inherited from the retina, while direction maps result from local circuits.

This study identifies species-specific escape thresholds in Peromyscus mice by analyzing neural circuits in the dorsal periaqueductal gray.

The paper identifies pathway-specific inputs to the superior colliculus that modulate visual processing and enable flexible behavior through distinct inhibitory circuits.

The paper maps brain-wide neural activity downstream of four collicular cell-types in mice, revealing distinct behavioral outcomes and novel brain regions involved in defensive behaviors.

This paper introduces vfUSI, a platform for brain-wide functional ultrasound imaging in mice, enabling high-resolution analysis of circuit dynamics and neural activity.

The paper redefines the mouse posterior parietal cortex (PPC) by identifying it as containing at least six sub-regions based on connectivity patterns and input sources.

The paper identifies projection-specific sampling of retinal inputs by neurons in the mouse superior colliculus, linking input diversity to distinct downstream targets.
