Definition
The corpora quadrigemina ( Latin for for “quadruplet bodies”) consist of 4 bodies called colliculi. The four colliculi are named supewrior and inferior colliculi and are located on the roof or tectum on the the dorsal aspect of the midbrain. The corpora quadrigemina are reflex centers involving vision and hearing.
