Subcollicular projections to the auditory thalamus and collateral projections to the inferior colliculus
Experiments in several species have identified direct projections to the medial geniculate nucleus (MG) from cells in subcollicular auditory nuclei. Moreover, many cochlear nucleus cells that project to the MG send collateral projections to the inferior colliculus (IC) (Schofield et al., 2014). We conducted three experiments to characterize projections to the MG from the superior olivary and th...
متن کاملExcitatory and inhibitory projections in parallel pathways from the inferior colliculus to the auditory thalamus
Individual subdivisions of the medial geniculate body (MG) receive a majority of their ascending inputs from 1 or 2 subdivisions of the inferior colliculus (IC). This establishes parallel pathways that provide a model for understanding auditory projections from the IC through the MG and on to auditory cortex. A striking discovery about the tectothalamic circuit was identification of a substanti...
متن کاملThe ferret auditory cortex: descending projections to the inferior colliculus.
Descending corticofugal projections are thought to play a critical role in shaping the responses of subcortical neurons. Here, we examine the origins and targets of ferret auditory corticocollicular projections. We show that the ectosylvian gyrus (EG), where the auditory cortex is located, can be subdivided into middle, anterior, and posterior regions according to the pattern of cytochrome oxid...
متن کاملAuditory cortical projections to the cat inferior colliculus.
The projection from 11 auditory cortical areas onto the subdivisions of the inferior colliculus was studied in adult cats by using two different anterograde tracers to label cortico-collicular (CC) axon terminals. The main results were that: 1) a significant CC projection arose from every field; 2) the principal inferior collicular targets were the dorsal cortex, lateral nucleus, caudal cortex,...
متن کاملDescending projections to the inferior colliculus from the posterior thalamus and the auditory cortex in rat, cat, and monkey.
Projections from the posterior thalamus and medial geniculate body were labeled retrogradely with wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase injected into the rat, cat, and squirrel monkey inferior colliculus. Neurons were found ipsilaterally in the (1) medial division of the medial geniculate body, (2) central gray, (3) posterior limitans nucleus, and the (4) reticular part of ...
