Analysis of Zebrafish Optic Tectum Visual Processing Before and After Optic Nerve Crush
… which then sends information to the optic tectum, the first visual brain center in lower vertebrates, for further processing. There were two main goals of this study. The first goal was to obtain tectal evoked responses (TER) from adult zebrafish and to compare them to previous …

Spectral Sensitivity of the Goldfish ERG and Optic Tectum Before and After Optic Nerve Damage
… re-establishes functional properties within the tectum after approximately 60-dpc.

Studies on the mode of CRF action in the optic tectum of the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis
… Previous work in our lab showed that optic tectum (OT), the homolog of superior colliculus in non-mammalian vertebrates, contributes to decision making on predator avoidance/prey capture tradeoffs. The neuropeptide corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) modulates discrete aspects of prey …

The mechanical regulation of Eph/ephrin signalling in the developing Xenopus brain
… in the visual area of the brain, the optic tectum. However, despite immense progress in our understanding of Eph/ephrin signalling in neural development, discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo work remain. As axon pathfinding is regulated by chemical and mechanical signals, and the …

Information processing in a midbrain visual pathway
… We investigated a midbrain visual pathway: optic tectum and its isthmic nucleus) that is motion sensitive and is thought as part of attentional system. We determined the physiological properties of individual neurons as well as their synaptic connections with intracellular recordings. We …

Mechanisms of Feedback in the Visual System
… direct topographic feedback to the optic tectum, a nucleus that receives the vast majority of retinal output. The optic tectum and nucleus isthmi of the amphibian are homologous structures to the superior colliculus and parabigeminal nucleus in mammals, respectively. We formulated a novel …

Characterizing complex time-series from the scaling of prediction error
… chaotic system and physical data from the optic tectum of an attentive pigeon exhibiting the important phenomena of nonstationary neuronal oscillations in response to visual stimuli.

Axonal Transport of Glycoproteins and Glycolipids in the Goldfish Optic System
… in the optic nerve and optic tract to the optic tectum, where the optic fibers terminate. For instance, when labeled amino acids are injected into the goldfish eye, labeled proteins synthesized in the retinal ganglion cells are axonally transported in the optic fibers. Two main waves of protein …

Quantitative Studies of the Mesencephalic Nucleus of the Trigeminus
… the trigeminus is a group of cells found, in the tectum of the mesencephalon and extends from the level of the posterior commissure to the level of the chief motor nucleus of the trigeminus. This investigation was a study of the responses of the cells in the mesencephalic nucleus of the cat to …

Imagining the Voltage of Neurons Distributed Across Entire Brains of Larval Zebrafish
… which mapped onto locations throughout the optic tectum, as well as during stimulus-independent bursts, which mapped onto locations in the cerebellum and medulla. Whole-brain voltage imaging may open up frontiers in the fundamental operation of neural systems.

Mechanism of Lmx1b-regulated Limb Dorsalization
… neurons, and reduced cerebellum and tectum formation. The developmental mechanisms utilized by Lmx1b remain largely unknown; to investigate downstream targets, we have used the limb as a model because of its accessibility and striking Lmx1b KO phenotype. To identify candidate genes, …

A data acquisition and analysis system for use with multi-electrode arrays in the development of a retinal prosthesis for degenerative retinal diseases
… has also been used to record from the optic tectum of thefrog, paving the way for future studies involving measuring the effects of retinal stimulation on the brain. Finally, in parallel with electrode array studies, a prototype complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip has been …

VISUAL RECOGNITION OF THE STATIONARY ENVIRONMENT IN LEOPARD FROGS
… aspects of their environment. The optic tectum has been shown to mediate the frog's ability to recognize and respond to moving prey and looming objects. Nonetheless, atectal frogs are still able to appropriately respond to non-moving aspects of their environment. There appears to be …

The Mechanisms And Roles Of Feedback Loops For Visual Processing
… isthmotectal feedback loop consists of the optic tectum: OT) and three nucleus isthmi: Imc, Ipc and SLu. The tectal layer 10 neurons project to ipsilateral Imc, Ipc and SLu in a topographic way. In turn Ipc and SLu send back topographical: local) cholinergic terminals to the OT, whereas Imc sends …
