In urethane-anesthetized rats, effects of locus coeruleus stimulation on spontaneous and photically evoked discharges of superior collicular neurons were studied. In any layer of the superior colliculus the inhibited neurons were more numerous than the facilitated ones, and the latter increased relative to the former from the superficial to the deep layer.
