UBPROP_0000001

Region of brain lying between the midbrain tectum and the thalamus (Sefton and Dreher, in Paxinos, G The rat central nervous system, 1995, pg 859), Situated at the level of poterior commissure and just rostral to the superior colliculus (Brodal, Neurological Anatomy, 3rd ed, 1981, pg 542)

A narrow, transversely oriented rostral zone of the mesencephalic tectum, bounded caudally by the superior colliculus, rostrally by the habenular trigone, and laterally by the pulvinar thalami; the pretectal area contains several nuclei that receive fibers from the optic tract; it has bilateral efferent connections with the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the oculomotor nuclear complex by way of which it mediates the pupillary light refle[MP:0009637]x

UBPROP_0000008

in monotremes, undifferentiated and possesses only a single nucleus[ISBN:0471888893]

within the amniotes, this region is smaller in mammals[ISBN:0471888893]

teleost fishes exhibit hypertrophy of the pretectum[ISBN:0471888893]

UBPROP_0000009

It receives binocular sensory input from retinal ganglion cells of the eyes, and is the region responsible for maintaining the pupillary light reflex

UBPROP_0000012

part of diencephalon in ZFA - modify to adjacent here, supported by pub. Note there is some inconsistency in resources between the region vs nuclei - sometimes they are treated equivalent, sometimes separate (e.g. MP)
