Dissecting the circuit for blindsight to reveal the critical role of pulvinar and superior colliculus

Blindsight refers to visual behaviours that are spared following lesions to the primary visual cortex and is thought to involve pulvinar circuits. Here, the authors report that selective inactivation of the ventral pulvinar or the superior colliculus leads to impairment in visually guided saccades i...
