Summary
This paper discusses the neuronal circuits that link the retina to different downstream brain areas via the superior colliculus, and how these circuits play a critical role in triggering a set of visually guided innate behaviors.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the superior colliculus in parsing and routing visual information to trigger appropriate behavioral output, which is relevant to cognitive function and memory.
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of the retina and retinal ganglion cells in transmitting visual information to the brain, which is relevant to eye health.
Education and learning: The paper discusses the role of the superior colliculus in visually guided behaviors, which is relevant to education and learning as it relates to how visual information is processed and used to guide behavior.
