To guarantee the removal of the tectum, the entire cerebral aqueduct was exposed.
In contrast to the latter, HRP was found on left and right sides of the tectum among both albino and pigmented cyclopes and orthoclopes.
Thus, while a connection between the retina and the tectum appears to be a necessary condition for NP, based upon the tectectomy series, additional conditions must be satisfied for the animal to display NP behavior.

 Postembryonic growth of the optic tectum in goldfish. II. Modulation of cell proliferation by retinal fiber input.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Temporary denervation (by optic nerve crush) initially had a similar effect; however, upon reinnervation of the tectum by regenerating optic fibers, proliferation was enhanced on the experimental side compared to the intact side.
We conclude that cytogenesis in the germinal zone of the growing optic tectum of adult goldfish is regulated by optic fiber input.
This mechanism may be important in matching the rates of growth of retina and tectum in the normal brain of the growing adult fish.

 Tucker, Mol Vis 1998; 4:18.
The purpose of this study was to use quantitative in situ hybridization to determine the relative abundance of transcripts encoding the alternatively spliced fibronectin type III repeats of tenascin-C in the embryonic avian optic tectum.
A representative collection of cross sections through the E10 quail optic tectum hybridized with the probes to tenascin-C variable repeats is illustrated in Figure 2.
The radial glia of the optic tectum similarly support the migration of neuronal precursors from the ventricular zone to their appropriate layer from E4 till E12 [20], and radial glia-derived tenascin-C may provide an environment that is conducive to motility.

There is greater magnification of the infrared map relative to the visual map, and there are differences in axis alignment between the infrared and visual maps.
Bimodal neurons found in the tectum do not appear to correct for the disparity in the maps, but systematic, locus-specific displacements of infrared receptive fields relative to visual fields of bimodal cells suggest that bimodal cell inputs are spatially similar to nearby unimodal visual and infrared neurons (Hartline et al 1978).
The optic tectum contains unimodal cells that respond to either visual or infrared stimuli and bimodal cells that respond to some combination of the two.

The relay for visual input from each eye to the ipsilateral tectum, is a tegmental structure called the nucleus isthmi.
The axons from this structure are guided to the optic tectum by unknown non-visual processes, but within the tectum, their final connections are completely dependent on the visual input coming from the 2 eyes.

 Gradients and Mapping
In the retinotectal topographic map, axons project from the temporal retina to the anterior tectum, and from the nasal retina to the posterior tectum.
However, the amount of repulsion of nasal axons in the anterior tectum is lower than the attractive forces, and the growth cone continues migration towards the posterior tectum: middle axon in the diagram.
However, many axons project to the normal location in the tectum, and the entire length of tectum is occupied by retinal axons, even in the double ephrin mutant.

 CJO - Abstract
Although the precise cellular mechanisms are unclear, the ability to regenerate CNS neurons and connections that subsequently sustain visual behavior is remarkable, especially for an adult vertebrate.
However, 9–18 weeks after ouabain injection, metabolic activity in the deprived tectum recovered to a level that was statistically indistinguishable from normal controls (N = 6).
These findings suggest that, after a comprehensive cytotoxic lesion of the retina, regenerated ganglion cells not only establish new connections with the preexisting optic tectum, but also effectively transmit visual information they receive from newly generated photoreceptors to the “old” tectum.

 DEVELOPMENT: ON THE GUIDANCE OF RETINAL NEURONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
RGC nerve fibers (axons) project into the brain in an orderly manner along both the x and y axes, such that the two-dimensional image is recapitulated in the optic tectum region of the brain.
To limit the number of different tags needed to specify the connections, Sperry further proposed that the chemicals on RGC axons and in the tectum form gradients, such that the amounts of a tag could specify different positions.
If they were, all RGC axons would head for the medial-most tectum, which is most attractive, and leave the lateral tectum unoccupied.
