This is contrasted with the tegmentum , which refers to the region ventral to the ventricular system . It is responsible for auditory and visual reflexes. It is derived in embryonic development from the alar plate of the neural tube . Colliculi In adult humans it is present only in the mesencephalon as the inferior colliculus inferior and the superior colliculus superior colliculi . The superior colliculus is involved in preliminary Visual perception visual processing and control of Eye movement sensory eye movements . In non mammalian vertebrates it serves as the main visual area of the brain, functionally analogous to the visual areas of the cerebral cortex in mammals. The inferior colliculus is involved in Auditory system auditory processing . It receives input from various brain stem nuclei and projects to the medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus , which relays auditory information to the primary auditory cortex . Both colliculi also have descending projections to the paramedian pontine reticular formation and spinal cord , and thus can be involved in responses to stimuli faster than cortical processing would allow.

It is part of the indirect extrapyramidal tract . Specifically, the tectospinal tract connects the midbrain tectum and the spinal cord . It is responsible for motor impulses that arise from one side of the midbrain to muscles on the opposite side of the body . The function of the tectospinal tract is to mediate reflex postural movements of the head in response to visual and auditory stimuli. The portion of the midbrain from where this tract originates is the superior colliculus , which receives afferents from the visual nuclei primarily the oculomotor nuclei complex , then projects to the contralateral decussating ventral to the mesencephalic duct and ipsilateral portion of the first cervical neuromeres of the spinal cord , the oculomotor and trochlear nuclei in the midbrain and the abducens nucleus in the caudal portion of the pons. The tract descends to the cervical spinal cord to terminate in Rexed laminae VI, VII, and VIII to coordinate head , neck , and human eye eye movements, primarily in response to visual stimuli.

Repulsive Guidance Molecules RGMs are members of a three gene family in vertebrates composed of RGMA RGMa , RGMB RGMb , and hemojuvelin RGMc also called hemojuvelin . RGMa has been implicated to play an important role in the Neural development developing brain and in the Granulation tissue scar tissue that forms after a Traumatic brain injury brain injury . For example, RGMa helps guide Ganglion cell Retinal Ganglion Cell RGC axon s to the Midbrain tectum tectum in the Mesencephalon midbrain . It has also been demonstrated that after induced spinal cord injury RGMa accumulates in the scar tissue around the lesion. Further research has shown that RGMa is an inhibitor of axonal outgrowth. Taken together, these findings highlight the importance of RGMa in Axon guidance axonal guidance and outgrowth. ref name pmid19698085 cite journal author Severyn CJ, Shinde U, Rotwein P title Molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry of the repulsive guidance molecule family journal Biochem.
