The superior colliculus is a brain centre which uses visual information from the eyes and other sensory information, such as sound, to direct the head and eyes towards objects of interest. This project will use current advancements in optogenetics to activate connections to this brain region in order to understand its role in coordinating head and eye movements. This will advance our understanding of how the brain collects and processes visual information to subserve behavioural functions.

上级丘是一个大脑中心，它使用来自眼睛的视觉信息和其他感觉信息，如声音，引导头部和眼睛朝向感兴趣的物体。该项目将利用目前光遗传学的进展来激活与该大脑区域的连接，以了解其在协调头部和眼睛运动中的作用。这将促进我们对大脑如何收集和处理视觉信息以促进行为功能的理解。
