Structure, connectivity patterns and pharmacological properties of individual neuron types in the superior colliculus are reviewed together with a presentation of new data from reconstructions of identified single cells.

Abstract

Structure, connectivity patterns and pharmacological properties of individual neuron types in the superior colliculus are reviewed together with a presentation of new data from reconstructions of identified single cells. Morphological aspects of the superior colliculus are critically related to its role in sensory orienting by eye and head movements.
