Thresholds were selected that best captured the pattern of c-fos-labeled neurons across the entire
colliculus. As illustrated in Figure 2, we defined a region of interest (ROI) that corresponds approximately to central nucleus of IC.
This overrepresentation developed first in the cortex and later in the inferior
colliculus suggesting a cortical origin and corticofugal influences [22].

colliculus. J Neurosci 1996; 16:7308-7317.
It is generated by synchronous firing of neurons along auditory nerve, cochlear nuclei, superior olivary nucleus, lateral lemniscus, and inferior
colliculus. [13-16] In this study, BAEPs were used as a mode of evaluation to prove the existence of cross-modal interactions of sensory modalities by comparing congenitally blind individuals with normal people.
Ziad Hafed of the Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) at the University of TE-bingen investigated non-human primates, ascertaining that different parts of the visual field are represented asymmetrically in the superior
colliculus, a brain structure central to visual perception and behavior.
Note that [DELTA]2-valproic acid, a metabolite of valproic acid, preferentially accumulates in select areas of the brain: the substantia nigra, superior and inferior
colliculus, hippocampus, and medulla.
Waves I, II, III, IV, and V originate in the ipsilateral cranial nerve VIII, cochlear nucleus, pons, lateral lemniscus, and caudal
colliculus of the midbrain.
(27) Conversely, Cornell and colleagues showed that cervical spine muscles respond to stimulation of the superior
colliculus (28), which is a primary CNS centre for processing of visual information.
