Basic connections between the retina, OT/SC, and NI/PB in various classes of vertebrates. In all animals studied, there are reciprocal topographic connections between the OT/SC and NI/PB (blue). Birds and reptiles have more than one isthmic nucleus. Amphibians and mammals have significant crossed connections (red) from NI/PB to OT/SC.
