DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2018.04.018
Abstract: The midbrain is a subcortical area involved in central functions such as integrating sensory modalities, movement initiation and bottom-up and top-down attention. In chicken, the midbrain roof is termed optic tectum (TeO) and consists of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12368
Abstract: Some shallow and middle optic tectum (OT) neurons have stable, asymmetric full-screen ON and OFF stimulus response properties, which makes them candidates for delay encoding. In this paper, we investigated the delay encoding mechanism for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.047779
Abstract: ABSTRACT Numerous studies have indicated that temperature improves the visual capabilities of different ectotherms, including a variety of fish species. However, none of these studies has directly tested whether elevated temperature extends the visual detection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.059567
Abstract: ABSTRACT The mammalian superior colliculus and its non-mammalian homolog, the optic tectum (OT), are midbrain structures that integrate multimodal sensory inputs and guide non-voluntary movements in response to prevalent stimuli. Recent studies have implicated this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1293/tox.2022-0011
Abstract: The optic tectum of Japanese quail embryos with in ovo exposure to methotrexate 100 ng/g egg on embryonic day 4 was examined from 3 to 24 hour after treatment. At 9 hour after methotrexate exposure,… read more here.

Fourier Motion Processing in the Optic Tectum and Pretectum of the Zebrafish Larva
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Neural Circuits"
DOI: 10.3389/fncir.2021.814128
Abstract: In the presence of moving visual stimuli, the majority of animals follow the Fourier motion energy (luminance), independently of other stimulus features (edges, contrast, etc.). While the behavioral response to Fourier motion has been studied… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.818007
Abstract: The optic tectum (OT) is a multilaminated midbrain structure that acts as the primary retinorecipient in the zebrafish brain. Homologous to the mammalian superior colliculus, the OT is responsible for the reception and integration of… read more here.
