A primary function of the midbrain stimulus selection network is to compute the highest-priority location for attention and gaze. Here we report the contribution of a specific cholinergic circuit to ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

There is much going on around us all the time, phenomena that we perceive with our different senses, which send information to the brain. This complication is solved by an ancient part of the midbrain ...

Chiari Malformation Type II: T1-weighted axial MRIs. These axial scans show several abnormalities, including descent of the cerebellar tonsils (tonsillar herniation), an abnormal midbrain with a ...

Chiari Malformation Type II: (Left and Middle) T2-weighted axial MRIs; (Right) T1-weighted sagittal MRI. The axial scans show several abnormalities, including descent of the cerebellar tonsils, an ...
