quadrigeminal

The inferior colliculi (lower or posterior quadrigeminal bodies) are important auditory reflex centers.

By a similar thickening process its alar laminæ are developed into the quadrigeminal lamina.

Dorsally, it is partly separated from the gray substance of the quadrigeminal bodies by the fibers of the lemniscus; ventral to it are the medial longitudinal fasciculus, and the formatio reticularis of the tegmentum.

IX. Neurology. 4b. The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon 1918

The superior colliculus (colliculus superior; superior quadrigeminal body; pregemina) is covered by a thin stratum (stratum zonale) of white fibers, the majority of which are derived from the optic tract.

IX. Neurology. 4b. The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon 1918

—The inferior colliculus (colliculus inferior; inferior quadrigeminal body; postgemina) consists of a compact nucleus of gray substance containing large and small multipolar nerve cells, and more or less completely surrounded by white fibers derived from the lateral lemniscus.

IX. Neurology. 4b. The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon 1918

It is also known as the spino-quadrigeminal system of Mott.

IX. Neurology. 3. The Spinal Cord or Medulla Spinalis 1918

It would be at present an unwarrantable assumption to make, that these centers are therefore disconnected from the retina, at the optic thalami, the superior quadrigeminal bodies, or wheresoever.
