ABSTRACT
In snakes with infrared receptors, the optic tectum receives input from both the visual and the infrared senses. We investigated the infrared and optic fiber terminations in the tectum with a combination of horseradish peroxidase and degeneration labeling. In addition to synapses by visual and infrared fibers onto individual neurons, we were able to observe for the first time visual and infrared synapses on one and the same dendrite.
