In the brain, the corpora quadrigemina (Latin for "quadruplet bodies") are the four colliculi—two inferior, two superior—located on the tectum the dorsal aspect of the midbrain. This is a list of the subjects in Gray's Anatomy: IX Neurology NeuroNames is a system of nomenclature for the human and/or macaque Brain.

The inferior colliculi ( Latin, lower hills) together with the superior colliculi form the eminences of the Corpora quadrigemina, and also part The superior colliculus ( Latin, higher hill) is a paired structure that is part of the Brain 's tectal area. The tectum (Latin roof) is a region of the Brain, specifically the dorsal part of the Mesencephalon (midbrain In biological anatomy the mesencephalon (or midbrain) comprises the Tectum (or corpora quadrigemini Tegmentum, the ventricular mesocoelia (or "iter"
The corpora quadrigemina are reflex centers involving vision and hearing. [1]
