Citation The SC comprises a purely sensory region, the superficial layers (sSC), which contain a map of the contralateral visual field, and a deeper region (dSC) in which neurons can exhibit both sensory and motor-related activity. The receptive fields of dSC neurons are arranged to form superimposed maps of visual and auditory space and the body surface, whereas their movement fields constitute a motor map of eye and head movements (Gordon, 1973; Sparks, 1988; Wallace et al., 1996).
