Functional topography of converging visual and auditory inputs to neurons in the rat superior colliculus.

abstract：:1. We studied the effect of electrical stimulation of the peribrachial region (PBR) in the brain stem on the visual response of single cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) to a light slit presented in a series of positions across the receptive field. The response was plotted against slit position, giv...
