哺乳动物视神经纤维的两个主要目标是外侧膝状体和上级丘（视顶盖）。通过各种技术的研究，以及对包括猫1 -5、猴6 -9、兔10 -12、大鼠13和地鼠14在内的几种哺乳动物物种的研究，上级丘的三种主要功能已经得到描述。在表层中，视觉输入以特定的方式处理;在深层中，几种感觉形式，主要是视觉、听觉和体感，被聚集在一起;顶盖的刺激导致动物的眼睛、头部或身体朝向与顶盖刺激的部分地形对应的位置定向。
THE two main targets of the mammalian optic nerve fibres are the lateral geniculate body and the superior colliculus (optic tectum). From studies with various techniques, and in several mammalian species including the cat1–5, monkey6–9, rabbit10–12, rat13, and ground squirrel14three major functions of the superior colliculus have been described. In the superficial layers the visual input is processed in a specific way; in deep layers several sense modalities, chiefly visual, auditory and somatosensory, are brought together; stimulation of the tectum results in an orienting of the animal's eyes, head or body towards a location corresponding topographically to the part of the tectum stimulated.
