Editing Pretectal area (section)

===Outputs===
Many pretectal nuclei share targets of efferent projections. All pretectal nuclei, except for the ON, project to nuclei in the thalamus, subthalamus, [[superior colliculus]], [[reticular formation]], [[pons]], and [[inferior olive]].<ref name="Nicholson" /> Both the ON and the CPA have efferent projections to the  [[Edinger-Westphal nucleus]]. The NPP and NPA both project to the pulvinar, the lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus, and several precerebellar nuclei.<ref name="Gamlin" />

The NOT has efferent projections to the zona incerta of the subthalamus, several nuclei of the pons, medulla, intralaminar nuclei, midbrain, and dorsal and ventral thalamic nuclei. Its bilateral inhibitory projections to the accessory optic system include connections to the lateral and medial terminal nuclei. Projections to the subthalamus are target toward the lateral geniculate nucleus and [[pulvinar nuclei|pulvinar]].  The NOT projects bilaterally to the [[superior colliculus]], although the ipsilateral connections appear to be more dominant. In addition to these projections, the NOT projects to the [[Vestibular system|vestibular]] and [[Anatomy of the cerebellum#Phylogenetic and functional divisions|vestibulocerebellar]] relay nuclei.<ref name="Gamlin" />
