Hypothetical topography of visual field and electroreceptive body surface in the midbrain of Gnathonemus petersii. (A) Dorsal view. (B) Lateral view. The schematics indicate that perception of the visual field of one body side largely overlaps that of the electroreceptive body surface of the same body side in the lateral toral nucleus because both sensory peripheries cross brain sides. Electrosensory topography in the lateral torus nucleus was reported by Hollmann et al. (2016). Note that retino-tectal topography is assumed to be like that shown in many other teleosts (see text) and needs confirmation. See text for more details. C, caudal; D, dorsal; R, rostral; V, ventral.
