The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

Researchers are investigating the mechanisms and identifying new areas of the brain that can benefit patients when stimulated. Persons with Parkinson's disease increasingly lose their mobility over ...
