The superior colliculus motor region does not respond to finger tapping movements in humans.

Electrophysiological studies in macaques and functional neuroimaging in humans revealed a motor region in the superior colliculus (SC) for upper limb reaching movements. Connectivity studies in macaques reported direct connections between this SC motor region and cortical premotor arm, hand, and finger regions. These findings motivated us to investigate if the human SC is also involved in sequential finger tapping movements.

Activity in the human superior colliculus associated with reaching for tactile targets.

The superior colliculus (SC) plays a major role in orienting movements of eyes and the head and in the allocation of attention. Functions of the SC have been mostly investigated in animal models, including non-human primates. Differences in the SC's anatomy and function between different species question extrapolations of these studies to humans without further validation.

Patient reported changes in metabolic health during lockdown: A cross sectional digital connect survey in people with type 2 diabetes.

• Individuals reporting Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose more than 140 mg/dl reduced to 18% during lockdown from 32.6%. • There were 81% and 74% increase in people who were unable to SMBG for fasting and post prandial glucose, respectively.

Sugar Intake Elicits Intelligent Searching Behavior in Flies and Honey Bees.

We present a comparison of the sugar-elicited search behavior in and . In both species, intake of sugar-water elicits a complex of searching responses. The most obvious response was an increase in turning frequency.

Parallel activation of prospective motor plans during visually-guided sequential saccades.

Behavioural evidences suggest that sequential saccades to multiple stimuli are planned in parallel. However, it remains unclear whether such parallel programming reflects concurrent processing of goals or whether multiple motor plans coexist, unfolding subsequently during execution. Here we use midway saccades, directed at intermediate locations between two targets, as a probe to address this question in a novel double-step adaptation task.
