Cats were trained to visually localize one of eight loudspeakers distributed in different spatial locations. The animals localized the activated sound source through a directed movement of ears, eyes and head towards it. The number of correct targeting reactions triggered by a tone stimulus from different spatial positions was strongly impaired in the operated animals in comparison to controls. The number of correct responses was higher when the tone stimuIus was presented from the side of the lesion. The role of the superior colliculus in the integration of audio-visual targeting reaction is discussed.
猫被训练通过视觉定位分布在不同空间位置的八个扬声器中的一个。动物通过耳朵、眼睛和头部朝着声源的定向运动来定位激活的声源。与对照组相比，手术动物中由来自不同空间位置的音调刺激引发的正确靶向反应数量严重受损。当音调刺激从病变一侧呈现时，正确反应的数量更高。文中讨论了上丘在视听靶向反应整合中的作用。
