An evolutionarily ancient midbrain region, the superior colliculus, can independently carry out visual computations long attributed mainly to the cortex, according to a PLOS Biology study. The work suggests that attention-guiding mechanisms with roots more than 500 million years old help separate objects from backgrounds and highlight salient details.
