At least in the accessory optic system of birds, the directional panellation is not well-developed at hatching and requires visual experience to develop normally.

The results support Herrick's earlier suggestion that the accessory optic system may be substantially involved in early activation and temporal modulation of visuomotor behaviors mediated via mesencephalic circuits. 21 2 2008 © 1985 S.
