midbrain tectum

Preferred Label : midbrain tectum;

Uberon definition : Dorsal part of the midbrain, consisting of the superior and inferior colliculi and the pretectal nuclei (MM).;

Uberon synonym : neuraxis tectum; tectum mesencephali; mesencephalic tectum; tectum;

Uberon related term : tectum of midbrain;

Uberon Homology note : The tectum - a multisensory, topologically mapped structure in the roof of the midbrain presents a remarkable degree of conservation in all vertebrate radiations; although it varies in the extent of its development in different vertebrate classes, there is considerable evidence now to deem its layered structure, its cell types, and its hodological pattern as homologous in all vertebrates.[well established][VHOG];

Uberon Taxon note : In adult humans it is present only in the mesencephalon as the inferior and the superior colliculi;
