Retinotectal projection patterns range from approximately linear representations of visual field coordinates onto the midbrain roof to non-linear projections of visual space with areal magnifications. “Visual streaks” are magnified horizontal bands and reflect specializations of retinal fine structure, especially ganglion cell densities. Horizontal visual streaks are common in several vertebrate classes, including elasmobranchs and mammals. “Convexiclivate” foveae and their greatly expanded projections on the midbrain surface have been found in teleosts, reptiles, and birds.
The nucleus corticalis of the teleostean midbrain contains neurons that can be activated by photic stimulation of both eyes, suggesting involvement in binocular vision.
