人们经常引用阿达米克（Adamiik，1872）的一项研究来说明我们知道上级丘（SC）在眼球运动中起作用有多久了。对SC参与眼球运动的兴趣并未减弱，而是由于最近描述行为动物中SC细胞活动的工作而实际上有所增加（全面讨论请参见Sparks & Pol lack 1977、Goldberg &罗宾逊1978和Wurtz & Albano 1980）。与几十年来对SC在眼动功能和视觉中所起作用的探索形成鲜明对比的是，我们对SC的多感觉作用的认识相对较近。甚至很难指出这一现象开始的具体日期，因为即使在解剖学研究表明SC接受非视觉传入之后，SC作为“视觉”结构的观点仍然存在。G.马尔堡和华纳1947年，Poirier和Bertrand 1955年，安德森和贝瑞1959年，Mehler等1960年）。直到1962年，SC的深部还被描述为含有”。. .细胞对未知来源的视外刺激作出反应”（Altman & Malis 1962）。然而，此后不久，SC细胞可以对非视觉刺激作出反应的证据开始积累（Bell et al 1964，Jassik-Gerschenfeld 1965，Hom & Hill 1966），现在SC参与听觉和躯体感觉以及视觉功能的证据已经被牢固地确立。许多早期的研究提到了SC，但都是顺便提及，很少成为关注的焦点。然而，在SC的兴趣激增发生在20世纪60年代，并一直持续至今。引起这种兴趣的相当重要的是描述了猫SC破坏后发生的严重对侧感觉忽视
Reference is often made to a study by Adamiik (1872) to illustrate how long we have known that the superior colliculus (SC) plays a role in eye movements. The interest in the involvement of the SC in eye movements has not waned, but has actually increased as a result of recent work describing the activity of SC cells in behaving animals (for comprehensive discussions, see Sparks & Pol lack 1977 , Goldberg & Robinson 1978, and Wurtz & Albano 1980). In striking contrast to the decades of exploration of the role the SC plays in eye move ments, and in vision in general, is the comparative recency of our appreciation of its multisensory roles. It is even difficult to point to a specific date when this began, because the view of the SC as a "visual" structure persisted even after anatomical studies demonstrated that it received nonvisual afferents (e. g. Marburg & Warner 1947, Poirier & Bertrand 1955, Anderson & Berry 1959, Mehler et aI1960). As late as 1962, the deep portion of the SC was described as containing" . . . cells that respond to extraoptic stimulation of unknown origin" (Altman & Malis 1962). Soon thereafter, however, demonstrations that SC cells could respond to nonvisual stimuli began to accumulate (Bell et aI1964, Jassik-Gerschenfeld 1965, Hom & Hill 1966), and now the involvement of the SC in auditory and somatosensory as well as visual functions is firmly estab lished. Many of the early studies that mention the SC do so in passing; seldom was it the major focus of attention. However, an upsurge of interest in the SC took place during the 1960s and has continued unabated since. Of considerable importance in initiating this interest was the description of the profound contralateral sensory neglect that occurred after destruction of the SC in cats
