The tectum/superior colliculus as the vertebrate solution for spatial sensory integration and action
The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

The types of retinal ganglion cells: current status and implications for neuronal classification
JR Sanes, RH Masland - Annual review of neuroscience, 2015 - annualreviews.org
In the retina, photoreceptors pass visual information to interneurons, which process it and
pass it to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Axons of RGCs then travel through the optic nerve …
