The superior colliculus receives input from the retina and the visual cortex and participates in a variety of visual reflexes particularly the tracking of objects in the visual field.
The tectum roof of the midbrain includes the.
The inferior colliculus receives both crossed.
The reticulospinal tract which exerts some control over alertness takes input from the tectum and.
It is involved in certain reflexes in response to visual or auditory stimuli.
Other components of the midbrain include.
The superior colliculus processes visual signals and relays them to the occipital lobes.
It forms the floor of the midbrain that surrounds below the cerebral aqueduct as well as the floor of the fourth ventricle while the midbrain tectum forms the roof of the.
The midbrain tegmentum is part of the midbrain that is broken up into the tectum and the tegmentum the midbrain tegmentum extends from the substantia nigra to the cerebral aqueduct in a horizontal section of the midbrain.
These colliculi are rounded bulges that are involved in visual and auditory reflexes.
