only located on the dorsal side between the thalamus and looks similar to the pituitary
in lower animals it was used for biological day and night rhythms |
|
|
Superior Colliculus
|
found under the pineal gland in the midbrain/brainstem
secondary visual pathways, head and eye movements |
|
|
Inferior Colliculus
|
found under the pineal gland in the midbrain/brainstem
primary hearing process |
