The BG are vitally important component of the vertebrate brain that has changed little over the course of ~400 million years of brain evolution. In humans the BG are associated with numerous neurological and psychiatric conditions including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette's syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder…
In a recent study, examining the expression of Fos protein, we studied the key neural systems mobilized during predatory behavior of rats hunting roaches. Of particular interest, we have found that predatory hunting induces a distinct activation of the lateral region of the superior colliculus (SCI), which does not appear to be particularly mobilized in other behavioral situations, such a…
A recent study, examining the expression of Fos protein, suggest the key neural systems mobilized during predation of rats hunting roaches. Of particular interest, it was found that predation induce a distinct activation of the lateral region of the intermediate layer of the superior colliculus (SCl), which does not appear to be particularly mobilized in other behavioral situations, such …
