Visuotopic organization of the superior colliculus in normal and Siamese cats

Abstract

The visuotopic organization of the superior colliculus of normally pigmented and Siamese cats was investigated with microelectrodes. In normal cats, the representation of the ipsilateral hemifield in the rostral tectum was found to be binocular. In addition, this representation included more of the ipsilateral hemifield than has been previously reported.
