The results show that the nucleus isthmi projects bilaterally to the tectal lobes. The ipsilateral isthmio\u2010tectal fibers are distributed in the superficial layers of the tectum, coincident with the retinotectal terminals. The contralateral isthmio\u2010tectal fibers travel anteriorly adjacent to the lateral optic tract and cross the midline in the supraoptic ventral decussation, where they turn dorsally and caudally; upon reaching the tectum, the fibers end in two discrete layers, layers 8 and A of Potter. The tectum projects to the ipsilateral nucleus isthmi and there is a reciprocal topographic relationship between the two structures. Thus, a retino\u2010tecto\u2010isthmio\u2010tectal route exists which may contribute to the indirect ipsilateral retinotectal projection which is observed electrophysiologically. The connections between the nucleus isthmi and the tectum in the frog are strikingly similar to the connections between the parabigeminal nucleus and the superior colliculus of mammals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.901790303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,28]],"date-time":"2004-12-28T19:56:46Z","timestamp":1104263806000},"page":"487-500","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":231,"title":["Topographic projections between the nucleus isthmi and the tectum of the frog rana pipiens"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"179","author":[{"given":"Edward R.","family":"Gruberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susan B.","family":"Udin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1090940210"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.5962\/bhl.title.1010","volume-title":"Vergleichende Anatomie des Nervensystems","author":"Ariens Kappers C.
