what is the tectum
The tectum is a region of the brain, specifically the dorsal part of the mesencephalon (midbrain). T. It is responsible for auditory and visual reflexes.
The tegmentum is a general area within the brainstem. It is located between the ventricular system and distinctive basal or ventral structures at each level. It forms the floor of the midbrain whereas the tectum forms the ceiling.[2] It is a multisynaptic network of neurons that is involved in many unconscious homeostatic and reflexive pathways.
