Abstract：
:1. One hundred seventy-nine single units were studied in the superior colliculus of seven Dutch-belted rabbits following ablation of the ipsilateral visual cortex. The response characteristics of these units were compared with those of 284 single units recorded from the superior colliculus of 20 intact animals. 2. In both the upper and lower parts of the stratum griseum superficiale and in the stratum griseum intermediate, there were smaller proportions of direction-selective visual units in the decorticated animals than in normal ones. 3. In the upper stratum griseum superficiale, a larger proportion of units responded to stroboscopic illumination in the decorticated animals than in normal ones. Also, in the decorticated animals, there was a larger proportion of units whose responses to a small moving stimulus were inhibited by the simultaneous presentation of stroboscopic illumination. 4. In both the upper and lower parts of the stratum griseum superficiale, a larger proportion of visual units responded well to stationary stimuli and a smaller proportion of visual units showed habituation in decorticated animals compared to normal ones. 5. In the lower stratum griseum superficiale, the receptive fields of units were larger and were more elongated in the anterior-posterior dimension in the decorticated animals than in normal ones. 6. In the two preparations, units did not differ in responsiveness or spontaneous activity; and visual units did not differ in the sustained or transient nature of their responses, the selectivity for light or dark stimuli, the selectivity for onset or offset of the stimuli, or the selectivity for stimulus velocity. 7. This study provides evidence for the importance of the visual corticotectal projection in the elaboration of the visual receptive-field properties of units in the superior colliculus of the rabbit. In addition, this study shows that the subdivisions of the superior colliculus are differentially affected by the loss of the visual corticotectal projection.
