Our lab was recently present in sunny San Diego for the 2022 Society for Neuroscience Annual Conference. Besides participating in the Advances in Motor Control Satellite Conference, we also had two other presentations in the main conference. In the first, Matthias Baumann continued to present interesting results on the sensory tuning of superior colliculus motor[…]
Our lab presented a platform presentation at this year’s fantastic Advances in Motor Learning and Motor Control Conference, a satellite event of the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting. In our contribution, Matthias Baumann gave a great talk on the topic of sensory tuning in neuronal movement commands. He described a very intriguing new discovery that[…]
We have a new paper now published at Communications Biology. It can be read here. In this paper, we investigated the question of whether the number of action potentials emitted by a superior colliculus (SC) neuron at the time of saccadic eye movement triggering is related to the eyeball rotation speed of the generated saccade.[…]
We have a new paper just published in the Journal of Neuroscience. In it, we observed that superior colliculus (SC) visual responses occur faster for stimuli that are darker, rather than brighter, than the background. Interestingly, this faster detection of dark stimuli occurs even if a neuron is more sensitive to bright stimuli. That is,[…]
