In birds, optic flow is analyzed by two retinal-recipient nuclei: the nucleus of the basal optic root (nBOR) of the accessory optic system (AOS), and the pretectal nucleus, lentiformis mesencephali (LM). Previous anatomical studies have shown that both of these nuclei have descending projections to
## Abstract The nucleus of the basal optic root of the accessory optic system in pigeons is involved in generating optokinetic nystagmus, which stabilizes object images on the retina by compensatory eye movements. Previous studies have indicated that basal optic neurons are selective for the direct
In the salamander Plethodon jordani, the morphology and axonal projections of thalamic (TH) neurons and their responses to electrical optic nerve stimulation were determined by intracellular recording and biocytin labeling under in vitro, whole-brain conditions. Based on their axonal projections, la
