The genus Sinocyclocheilus (golden-line barbel) includes 25species of cave-dwelling blind fish (cavefish)and more than 30 surface-dwelling species with normal vision.Cave environments are dark and generally nutrient-p...
THE nucleus isthmi (NI) in lower vertebrates and its mammalian analogue, the nucleus para-bigeminalis, are all visual centres. They receive their tectal input ipsilaterally and project backipsilaterally in teleosts an...

It has been established that the nucleus isthmi (NI) in lower vertebrates and its mammalian analogue, the nucleus parabigeminalis, receive input from the ipsilateral tectum and project back ipsilaterally in teleosts a...

In this study postsynaptic potentials responding to the electrical stimulation of the optic nerve and the nucleus isthmipars parvocellularis (Ipc) were intracellularly recorded from 86 tectal cells in pigeons, 13 of w...
Our preceding papers have shown that the nucleus isthmi (NI) is a secondary visual center in anuran amphibians. We, using HRP tracing and Golgi-Cox impregna-
