superior colliculus

anterior colliculus

Paired bodies of the midbrain tectum sitting caudal to the thalamus and surrounding the pineal gland form the superior colliculus. It occupies the rostral aspect of the midbrain, posterior to the periaqueductal grey and immediately superior to the inferior colliculus; together the inferior and superior colliculi are known as the corpora quadrigemina, the quadruplet bodies. The structure is not homogeneous, consisting of several identified cellular layers, and it also comprises two named fibre components, the brachium of the superior colliculus and the commissure of the superior colliculus. Its alternative designation is the anterior colliculus, and it is classified within the nervous system as a regional part of the brain.

Part of the midbrain tecturm consisting of paired bodies that sit caudal to the thalamus and surround the pineal gland in the mesencephalon of vertebrate brains. It comprises the rostral aspect of the midbrain, posterior to the periaqueductal gray and adjacent superior the inferior colliculus. The inferior and superior colliculi are known collectively as the corpora quadrigemina (Latin, quadruplet bodies). It consists of several identified cellular layers and also comprises the brachium of the superior colliculus and commissure of supeior colliculus from Wikipedia.org and Neuronames (MM).
