Monitoring of single-cell responses in the optic tectum of adult zebrafish with dextran-coupled calcium dyes delivered via local electroporation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become one of the major animal models for in vivo examination of sensory and neuronal computation. Similar to Xenopus tadpoles neural activity in the optic tectum, the major region controlling visually guided behavior, can

Processing of local features in the zebrafish optic tectum [PDF]
, 2018 The optic tectum is the main visual processing area in zebrafish and is involved in a variety of visually-driven behaviours. A key question is how information about the visual environment is processed and integrated in order to generate guided behaviour.

The avian tectobulbar tract: development, explant culture, and effects of antibodies on the pattern of neurite outgrowth [PDF]
, 1990 The tectobulbar tract is the first long-distance projecting fiber pathway to appear during the development of the avian optic tectum (dorsal half of the mesencephalon).

Critical Effects on Akt Signaling in Adult Zebrafish Brain Following Alterations in Light Exposure
Cells, 2021 Evidence from human and animal studies indicate that disrupted light cycles leads to alterations of the sleep state, poor cognition, and the risk of developing neuroinflammatory and generalized health disorders.

The Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2012 A histological study was conducted to examine the structure of optic tectum in Clemmys caspica caspica. The results showed that the optic tectum consist of seven strata and the third stratum consists of three substrata, as follows: The stratum zonula (SZ)

Molecular mechanisms separating two axonal pathways during embryonic development of the avian optic tectum [PDF]
, 1991 During embryonic development of the avian optic tectum, retinal and tectobulbar axons form an orthogonal array of nerve processes. Growing axons of both tracts are transiently very closely apposed to each other. Despite this spatial proximity, axons from
