The zebrafish optic tectum processes visual inputs and other sensory information, mapping them topographically over the ...

We sought to examine the early development and plasticity of local excitatory circuits in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. We found that retinal input recruits persistent, recurrent ...

We recorded from neurons in the developing optic tectum of Xenopus laevis and found that repeated presentation of moving visual stimuli induced receptive field changes that reflected the ...

This process is now better understood, thanks to a team of scientists that imaged the activity of individual neurons in a part of a zebrafish’s brain called the optic tectum. The optic tectum ...

Wnt signaling regulates proliferation and differentiation of radial glia in regenerative processes after stab injury in the optic tectum of adult zebrafish. Glia , 2018; DOI: 10.1002/glia.23311 ...

Likewise, optic tectum in the brain must be able to process color, pattern and brightness. The eyes of squirrelfish (Holocentrus rufus), a common nocturnal inhabitant of coral reefs, ...

The optic tectum is the place where the neurons that do all the computations needed to locate a sound -- comparing the timing and level difference between the two ears, for example -- hand off the ...

Since the optic nerve of the fish crosses to the opposite hemisphere when it enters the brain, the image of the paramecium is clearly seen in the opposite tectum.

Zebrafish have a visual processing centre in their brains called the optic tectum, which transforms sensory input into movement and orients animals to objects of interest in the outside world ...

The study focused on a region of the tadpole brain called the optic tectum, which corresponds to a structure called the superior colliculus in the brains of humans.

Waseda University researchers recently elucidated the regenerative processes by neural stem cells using a stab injury model in the optic tectum, a less studied area of the brain, of adult zebrafish.
