A cortical substrate for memory-guided orienting in the rat
2011, NeuronCitation Excerpt :Based on data from an orienting task driven by olfactory stimuli, Felsen and Mainen (2008) recently proposed that the superior colliculus (SC) may play a broad role in sensory-guided orienting. Projections to the SC from the FOF (Leonard, 1969; Künzle et al., 1976; Reep et al., 1987), together with our current data, suggest that the FOF may be an important contributor to orienting-related activity in the SC. As in the primate, orienting behavior in the rodent is likely to be subserved by a network of interacting brain areas.
Organization of projections from the medial agranular cortex to the superior colliculus in the rat: A study using anterograde and retrograde tracing methods
2001, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The species difference has been known as to the laminar distribution of corticotectal fibers from the FEF. In the monkey, these fibers are distributed in the superficial layers, such as the stratum opticum, superficial gray layer and stratum zonale, as well as in the deep layers, such as the intermediate and deep gray layers [22,23,27,42]. On the other hand, in the cat, these fibers are distributed in the deep layers below the stratum opticum, mainly in the intermediate gray layer and additionally in the deep gray layer [30,39].
