Bidirectional encoding of motion contrast in the mouse superior colliculus
Detection of salient objects in the visual scene is a vital aspect of an animal’s interactions with its environment. Here, we show that neurons in the mouse superior colliculus (SC) encode visual saliency by detecting motion contrast between stimulus center and surround. Excitatory neurons in the mo...
