  • Title: [Interaction between visual activation and proprioceptive activation in neurons of the superior colliculus].
    Author: Batini C, Horcholle-Bossavit G.
    Journal: C R Acad Hebd Seances Acad Sci D; 1977 Dec 19; 285(16):1491-3. PubMed ID: 417822.
    Abstract:
    Units located in the superficial and intermediate layers of the superior colliculus are activated by proprioceptive stimulation of the extraocular muscle nerves as well as by specific visual stimuli. Units of the deep layer of the colliculus, not sensitive to visual activation, are inhibited by proprioceptive stimulation. A few of the units showed interaction between the two types of stimulation, the proprioceptive response appearing only when spontaneous activity was decreased by a visual stimulus.
