  • Title: Maturation of cortical control over superior colliculus cells in cat.
    Author: Stein BE, Gallagher HL.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1981 Nov 02; 223(2):429-35. PubMed ID: 7284822.
    Abstract:
    The specialized receptive field properties of superior colliculus cells are believed to be dependent upon cortical influences. Yet despite a corticotectal projection near the time of birth and adult-like cortical cells at the beginning of the second week of life, specialized properties do not appear in many superior colliculus cells until quite late in postnatal development. We now report that this apparent conflict is due to the protracted functional maturation of the corticotectal system.
