Abstract
In the Frog, after unilateral optic nerve and tract section, contralateral visual responses were recorded in the tectum ipsilateral to the section. These responses were elicited by stimulation of a unique spatial region located near the projection of the contralateral eye optic axis and could be randomly recorded on the tectal surface. The possible pathways and the role of such retino-tectal afferences are discussed.
