The superior colliculus (SC) generates saccades by recruiting a population of cells in its topographically organized motor map. Supra-threshold electrical stimulation in the SC produces a normometric saccade with little effect of the stimulation parameters. Moreover, the kinematics of electrically evoked saccades strongly resemble natural, visual-evoked saccades. These findings support models in which the saccade vector is determined by a center-of-gravity computation of activated neurons, while ...[more]
