Sound unmasks short-latency tectal visual signals that are independent of the primary visual cortex

This work reversibly inactivated primate V1 and explored the influences on short-latency reflexive saccadic resetting, and randomly interleaving task-irrelevant simultaneous sounds not only recovered the phenomenon, but it was also associated with V1-independent neuronal modulations in both the superior and inferior co...
