The role of the tectal column in facilitation of amphibian prey- catching behavior: a neural model

R Lara, MA Arbib and AS Cromarty

We used computer analysis of differential equations to study the properties of a family of models of a unit of neural circuitry in the amphibian tectum, the tectal column. Computer experiments were used to discriminate among various hypotheses and to suggest new experiments. Particular attention was paid to physiological data on facilitation of amphibian prey-catching behavior which led us to model the facilitation in terms of dynamic activity in the tectal column rather than in terms of synaptic modification.
