Claim 1causal perturbationsupports2025Source 1DOI

Intensity-modulated optogenetic stimulation of pretectum induced progressively more lateralised contraversive orienting behaviour.

Claim 2mechanistic pathwaysupports2025Source 1DOI

Anatomical tracing and laser axotomies indicated that pretectal neurons control contraversive turns via a crossed pretectobulbar pathway, whereas optic tectum has topographically patterned output with a major uncrossed projection to hindbrain.

Claim 3model proposalsupports2025Source 1DOI

Premotor activity across pretectum and optic tectum collectively controls predatory orienting via both crossed and uncrossed pretectobulbar and tectobulbar pathways.
