Abstract
In my recent study, I described two different areas in the nucleus glomerulosus of a pufferfish that receive information from different layers in the tectum opticum by neurons in different portions of the nucleus corticalis (Schmidt, 2020). These findings were challenged in a reply by M.Hofmann, in which he states that an injection site would be located in another brain structure than the one I have reported (Hofmann, 2021). This is actually not clear from the supplied material in my article. For that reason, I will present the essential part of the brain section series (Fig. 1) and provide this part as an aligned series of photomicrographs (Supplementary material). On this occasion, I will react to the other labeled structures and the topographical organization that have been addressed by M. Hofmann as well.
期刊介绍:
Visual Neuroscience is an international journal devoted to the publication of experimental and theoretical research on biological mechanisms of vision. A major goal of publication is to bring together in one journal a broad range of studies that reflect the diversity and originality of all aspects of neuroscience research relating to the visual system. Contributions may address molecular, cellular or systems-level processes in either vertebrate or invertebrate species. The journal publishes work based on a wide range of technical approaches, including molecular genetics, anatomy, physiology, psychophysics and imaging, and utilizing comparative, developmental, theoretical or computational approaches to understand the biology of vision and visuo-motor control. The journal also publishes research seeking to understand disorders of the visual system and strategies for restoring vision. Studies based exclusively on clinical, psychophysiological or behavioral data are welcomed, provided that they address questions concerning neural mechanisms of vision or provide insight into visual dysfunction.
