In fish, the optic tectum forms the roof of the midbrain. The zebrafish optic tectum processes visual inputs and other sensory information, mapping them topographically over the tectum ...

Anatomical overlap of respective brain regions suggests a joint network for attention and eye movements. Here, the authors show that gaze aligns with the acoustics of attended natural speech and ...

The SC, lying on the roof of the mammalian midbrain (with a homologous structure known as the optic tectum in non-mammalian vertebrates), receives direct input from the retina and transmits this ...
