Connections of the corpus cerebelli in the green sunfish and the common goldfish [PDF]
, 1988 Examination of the connections of the corpus cerebelli in one perciform (Lepomis cyanellus) and one cypriniform teleost (Carassius auratus) reveal that ipsilateral afferent connections in both species arise from an anterior group of nuclei in the ...

A simple non-invasive method for measuring gross brain size in small live fish with semi-transparent heads [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 This paper describes a non-invasive method for estimating gross brain size in small fish with semi-transparent heads, using system camera equipment. Macro-photographs were taken from above on backlit free-swimming fish undergoing light anaesthesia.

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).

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE PIGEON'S OPTIC TECTUM [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1971 Electrical responses of the cells at different depths of the pigeon's optic tectum to different visual stimuli were recorded.Point to point representation of the upper visual field on the dorsal surface of the tectum was obtained as a projection on a horizontal stereotaxic plane.Different units in the stratum griseum et fibrosum superficiale of the ...

Mapping neurogenesis onset in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis. [PDF]
Dev Neurobiol, 2016 Neural progenitor cells have a central role in the development and evolution of the vertebrate brain. During early brain development, neural progenitors first expand their numbers through repeated proliferative divisions and then begin to exhibit ...

FGF2 delays tectal neurogenesis, increases tectal cell numbers, and alters tectal lamination in embryonic chicks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Intraventricular injections of the fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) are known to increase the size of the optic tectum in embryonic chicks. Here we show that this increase in tectum size is due to a delay in tectal neurogenesis, which by definition ...

A contribution to the study of the afferents to the pigeon optic tectum [PDF]
Anatomy and Embryology, 1982 The origins of several afferent pathways to the pigeon's tectum were studied using the horseradish peroxidase tracing technique. The results confirm the presence of several previously described afferents, and add further data on intertectal and hyperstriatofugal projections.

Midbrain morphogenesis in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) larvae [PDF]
Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018 The subject of this study was the development of midbrain in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) larvae. To this end, 36 larvae (6 larvae of each age) were fixed in 10% buffered formalin, dehydrated in an etha-nol series, cleared in xylene and embedded in ...
