The ascending auditory pathway in the pigeon (Columba livia). II. Telencephalic projections of the nucleus ovoidalis thalami.
Avian somatosensory system: II. Ascending projections of the dorsal column and external cuneate nuclei in the pigeon
  • J. Wild
  • Biology
    The Journal of comparative neurology
  • 1989
TLDR
The results show that the majority of ascending projections decussate via internal arcuate fibers to form a contralateral medial lemniscus which ascends in a ventral position.
Three subdivisions of the auditory midbrain in chicks (Gallus gallus) identified by their afferent and commissural projections
TLDR
Using in vivo anterograde and retrograde tracing techniques, the current study provides two lines of anatomical evidence supporting the presence of a third ascending channel to the chick MLd, suggesting a third information‐processing channel in parallel with the time and intensity channels.
Connections of the auditory brainstem in a songbird, Taeniopygia guttata. III. Projections of the superior olive and lateral lemniscal nuclei
TLDR
The ascending inputs to MLd and more rostral nuclei may contribute importantly to mechanisms of auditory pattern (song) recognition and some of the descending projections may be inhibitory.
Subdivisions of the Auditory Midbrain (N. Mesencephalicus Lateralis, pars dorsalis) in Zebra Finches Using Calcium-Binding Protein Immunocytochemistry
TLDR
The midbrain nucleus mesencephalicus lateralis pars dorsalis is thought to be the avian homologue of the central nucleus of the mammalian inferior colliculus and in songbirds mediates the auditory feedback necessary for the learning and maintenance of song.

Afferents to the Optic Tectum of the Leopard Frog : An HRP Study
Following unilateral HRP injections in the optic tectiim of Ranci pipiens, HHP-positive cells were seen in thrce pretcctal nuclei: bilatc.rally in the dorsal posterior nucleus; in the dorsal half of…
Efferents from the optic tectum to the brain stem in the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Anterogradely biocytin method.
TLDR
The present results suggest that tectofugal impulses in the quail relate to various functions with special relation to the function of the GC at the level of the trigeminal nerve as well as a visual function.
Neuronal morphology in subdivisions of the inferior colliculus of chicken (Gallus gallus)
Ascending connections of a midbrain auditory area in a crocodile, Caiman crocodilus
  • M. Pritz

    The Journal of comparative neurology
  • 1974
TLDR
The torus semicircularis is a tonotopically organized auditory region in the midbrain of the crocodile, Caiman crocodilus, and the neuronal architecture of nucleus Z and that of the nucleus reuniens complex are described.

Fiber projections of the superior colliculus in the cat
TLDR
The present study was undertaken in an attempt to determine both the descending and ascending projections of the superior colliculus in the cat by means of the Nauta-Gygax technique, following localized stereotaxic lesions in the superiorColliculus.
The tecto‐thalamic connections in the brain of the rabbit ,
TLDR
The tectal connections and cytoarchitecture of regions in the rabbit's midbrain and caudal thalamus are correlated and the internal and principal divisions of the medial geniculate are mapped.
Rostral projections of the optic tectum and the nucleus rotundus in the pigeon
The connexions of the inferior colliculus and of the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus.
TLDR
The present paper deals with anatomical observations made with a view to establishing the afferent and efferent connexions of the inferior colliculus and of the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus.
The nucleus isthmi of the frog
The nucleus or ganglion isthmi is a subject of much confusion in the literature of comparative neurology. It has been described in all groups of vertebrates except cyclostomes and mammals. According…
The representation of the retina on the optic tectum of the pigeon.
TLDR
Auditory responses were obtained from the nucleus mesencephalicus lateralis pars dorsalis and there is point to point representation of the retina on the optic tectum in the pigeon.

Cellular localization of monoamines in the upper brain stem of the pigeon
TLDR
It has been possible to demonstrate the presence in birds of specific Neurons of two distinctly different types, which in all probability form and store a primary catcholamine and 5‐hydroxytryptamine respectively.
