Effect of retinal ablation on the expression of calbindin D28k and GABA in the chick optic tectum
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 The effect of retinal ablation on qualitative and quantitative changes of calbindin D28k and GABA expression in the contralateral optic tectum was studied in young chicks.

Visual wulst influences on flash evoked responses in the ectostriatum of the zebra finch
, 1994 Engelage J, Bischof H-J. Visual wulst influences on flash evoked responses in the ectostriatum of the zebra finch. Brain Research. 1994;652(1):17-27.Anatomical data suggest that visual information from the thalamofugal pathway contributes to visual ...

Neurogenesis of retinal ganglion cells is not essential to visual functional recovery after optic nerve injury in adult zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Zebrafish central nervous system (CNS) possesses a strong neural regeneration ability to restore visual function completely after optic nerve injury (ONI).

Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: The brain is spontaneously active, even in the absence of sensory stimulation. The functionally mature zebrafish optic tectum shows spontaneous activity patterns reflecting a functional connectivity adapted for the circuit’s functional role and ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of

Visual-Cerebellar Pathways and Their Roles in the Control of Avian Flight
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 In this paper, we review the connections and physiology of visual pathways to the cerebellum in birds and consider their role in flight. We emphasize that there are two visual pathways to the cerebellum.

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2022 Dendritic spines are the principal site of excitatory synapse formation in the human brain. Several neurodevelopmental disorders cause spines to develop abnormally, resulting in altered spine number and morphology.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

Mapping of the receptive fields in the optic tectum of chicken (Gallus gallus) using sparse noise. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The optic tectum plays a key role in visual processing in birds. While the input from the retina is topographic in the superficial layers, the deep layers project to the thalamic nucleus rotundus in a functional topographical manner.
