Mouse whisker circuits integration
The superior colliculus, a conserved midbrain node with extensive long-range connectivity throughout the brain, is a key structure for innate behaviors. This study by Alexander Growth, Jesús Martín-Cortecero and co-workers uses trans-synaptic tracing and functional analysis to reveal novel pathways via the superior colliculus for the transformation of cortical signals into long-range output signals in the mouse whisker.
