- Do direction and orientation preferences form maps in the mouse superior colliculus (SC)? We examined how motion and orientation tuning are organized in SC neurons and their retinal inputs—and how the retinal topography is transformed by collicular circuits. tinyurl.com/mr2zt5rm 🧵👇
- Using two-photon imaging of retinal boutons and SC neurons, plus Neuropixels recordings across SC depth, we find robust tuning for motion direction and orientation.
- From the retina, SC inherits a highly ordered topography of cardinal directions and orientations previously described for direction- and orientation-selective ganglion cells. With increasing depth, SC neurons progressively deviate from this organization.
