Abstract:
Direct projections from nucleus X to the external cortex of the inferior colliculus (ICe) were found in the rat by the retrograde single- and double-labeling methods. The projections are bilateral with a clear contralateral dominance. Some of these projections are made by axon collaterals of projection fibers from nucleus X to the ventrobasal thalamus. On the other hand, projection fibers from nucleus X to the cerebellum send no axon collaterals to ICe.
