Slow off responses in the rat superior colliculus neurons may contribute to the predator detection
A slowly moving dark spot imitating the shadow of a hovering bird of prey has been shown to induce freezing in rodents. Such visually triggered behaviours are usually initiated in the superior colliculus (SC); therefore, it is likely that such slowly moving dark spots can produce responses in SC neu...
