relating to a tectum(= part of the brain that receives signals about sight and sound):
tectal cellThis has no effect on receptive-field size at the level of the single tectal cell.
tectal layerThe superficial tectal layers in all vertebrates receive retinal input.
Mesencephalic reticular formation neurons could belong to a feedback system that adjusts the tectal activity.
The number of ganglion cells innervating an individual tectal cell is kept roughly constant, as is the amount of visual-field area represented by those ganglion cells.
These layers are established during tectal development.
