This study shows that generating microsaccadic eye movements can enhance peripheral visual sensitivity independently of attentional demands.

During delayed saccade tasks, macaque foveal superior colliculus neurons burst after the go signal, leading peripheral collicular pauses by 10 ms, independent of target image, saccade direction or reaction time.

This study compares coarse-to-fine visual processing dynamics in primate superior colliculus and primary visual cortex, finding stronger dynamics in the SC.

The paper compares covariation between superior colliculus and primary visual cortical activity with eye movement timing, finding stronger covariation in the superior colliculus.

This study shows that transient inactivation of the primary visual cortex eliminates visually-driven saccadic inhibition, highlighting the dominance of the geniculostriate pathway in this reflex.

The paper shows that foveal superior colliculus neurons signal trans-saccadic prediction errors when post-saccadic visual input mismatches pre-saccadic expectations.

The paper investigates short-latency visual stimulus-driven ocular drift responses during gaze fixation, finding they are feature-tuned and synchronized with saccadic inhibition.

The paper investigates how saccadic inhibition in macaque monkeys is tuned to various visual features, finding systematic dependencies on stimulus size, spatial frequency, contrast, motion direction, and speed.

This study shows that saccade-related bursts in the primate superior colliculus do not determine movement kinematics, as burst strength varies with visual field direction and target visibility without affecting kinematics.

This study shows that monkey superior colliculus neurons detect dark stimuli faster than bright stimuli, even if they are less sensitive to darks.
