92"The primary arrangement for drainage of the capillaries of the head (Figs. 481, 488) consists of a primary head vein which starts in the region of the midbrain and runs caudalward along the side of the brain tube to terminate at the duct of ...
projection from the vertebrate retina to the midbrain. Embryologically, a cNS tract rather than a peripheral nerve.
The prosencephalon further goes on to develop into the telencephalon (the forebrain or cerebrum) and the diencephalon (the optic vesicles and hypothalamus).
The mesencephalon develops into the midbrain.
optic lobes
one of a pair of lobes found as swellings on the dorsal side of the midbrain of some lower vertebrates. The lobes integrate sensory information from the eyes and certain auditory reflexes.
