Dynamic space codes in the superior colliculus.
Space coding in the superior colliculus has traditionally been viewed as a static representation by multiple, aligned, sensory and motor maps. Recent evidence has revealed that the maps are dynamic, shaped by sensory experience in developing animals, and by eye and head position signals in adults. The superior colliculus thus provides an ideal model for studying the neural mechanisms underlying developmental and real-time modifications of information representation in the brain.
