The acquisition of tectal positional specification in Xenopus
The acquisition of tectal positional specification in Xenopus is a scholarly work, published in 1978 in ''Neuroscience Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include projection, optic nerve, visual perception, retinal, metamorphosis, retinotopy, mesencephalon, neuroscience, retina, anatomy, Xenopus, Retinal degeneration, superior colliculus, and biology. The visuotectal projection was found to be rotated, indicating that the ingrowing optic fibres had reached the same tectal areas that they would have reached had the tectum not been rotated.
