| 1. | The thalamic-pretectal region initiates avoidance behavior in the toad.
|
| 2. | Most of these fibers synapse in the lateral geniculate nucleus or the pretectal nucleus.
|
| 3. | The pretectal area is seven unique nuclei.
|
| 4. | Pretectal lesions impaired the prey-selectivity.
|
| 5. | Pretectal nuclei, in particular the NOT, are involved in coordinating eye movements during smooth pursuit.
|
| 6. | Lesioning experiments led to the discovery of pathways extending between the tectum and the thalamic-pretectal region.
|
| 7. | Some important structures directly impacted by the light-sleep relationship are the superior colliculus-pretectal area and the.
|
| 8. | A pineal tumour can compress the superior colliculi and pretectal area of the dorsal midbrain, producing Parinaud's syndrome.
|
| 9. | When the thalamic-pretectal region was removed, avoidance behavior was entirely absent while orienting behavior was enhanced even to predator stimuli.
|
| 10. | Anterior, posterior and medial pretectal nuclei inhibit pain ( indirectly ), aid in REM, and aid the accommodation reflex, respectively.
