Mapping behaviorally salient neural activity in the superior colliculus and the subcortical networks guiding innate behaviors. KU Leuven
How visual information is processed by the brain to orient our attention and guide behavior is central to our understanding of sensory – motor transformations. Transgenic mouse models together with molecular and genetic tools and high-throughput recording techniques have allowed us to start to understand how local brain circuits and their direct projections are organized to integrate sensory information and guide behavior. However, these ...
