Corpora quadrigemina (Latin: "four twins") is the collective name given to both pairs of the inferior and superior colliculi. Latin is the language originally spoken in the region around Rome called Latium. ... The paired inferior colliculi together with the superior colliculi form the eminences of the corpora quadrigemina. ... The superior colliculus is part of the brain that sits below the thalamus and surrounds the pineal gland in the mesencephalon of vertebrate brains. ...
In close relationship with the corporaquadrigemina are the superior peduncles, which emerge from the upper and medial parts of the cerebellar hemispheres.
Of the afferent fibers which reach the superior colliculus, some are derived from the lemniscus, but the majority have their origins in the retina and are conveyed to it through the superior brachium; all of them end by arborizing around the cells of the gray substance.
The corporaquadrigemina are larger in the lower animals than in man. In fishes, reptiles, and birds they are hollow, and only two in number (corpora bigemina); they represent the superior colliculi of mammals, and are frequently termed the optic lobes, because of their intimate connection with the optic tracts.
