The superior colliculi, part of the midbrain, are involved in processing visual as well as other sensory information. They receive inputs from the eyes (visual system), skin (somatosensory system), cerebrum (for higher-order visual processing and control), and inferior colliculi (which are primarily involved in auditory processing). This integration allows for the coordination of visual, somatosensory, and auditory information, crucial for spatial orientation and motor responses to stimuli.
