Microstimulation of the superior colliculus suppresses cornea reflex blinks in urethane-anesthetized rats.A, Each record is the average of 10 rectified OOemg responses to stimulation of the right (R Corn) or left (L Corn) cornea. Right traces are from the left OOemg (L OOemg), and left tracesare from the right lid OOemg (R OOemg). Top traces show normal, control responses, and bottom traces illustrate responses preceded by a 70 msec train of microstimulation to the left superior colliculus (L SC) that terminated 5 msec before the corneal stimulation.B, Reduction in the amplitude of the direct OOemg response caused by microstimulation of the superior colliculus ipsilateral (Ipsi, solid bars) or contralateral (Contra, hatched bars) to the stimulated cornea. All integrated OOemg data were normalized to the mean preinjection OOemg amplitude for the group, and error bars are 1 SEM.
