Fiber connections of the torus longitudinalis and optic tectum in holocentrid teleosts. Similarly, ceilings and walls are often made from Tectum, a wood fibre material normally used in gyms; blackened concrete is used as floor finish, though some of the more intimate rooms have maple strips, and elsewhere, in the Great Hall for instance, floors are of Yukon Silver limestone, but the sort that is often thrown away because of its varied colouring (which actually makes it more interesting and sensuous than the blandly uniform kind). Since the tectum undergoes a growth spurt earlier than the forebrain, Henshel notes, these data suggest that sensitivity to dioxin may be heightened in regions undergoing expansive growth. |
