Fig. 3

Inversation in prevertebrates. Progressive maturation of the cyclopean eye (1,2,3) by deepening of the retinal pit, favours contralateral inputs of light to the retina (dark shading) by exclusion of inputs ipsilaterally and centrally. This lateralization is maintained in the developing adnexal diencephalon. For further exposition of this concept see Loosemore [48]
