Pretectal connections to the claustrum: an HRP retrograde transport study in cats.
نویسنده
چکیده
In 28 cats after injections of HRP solution (0.20-0.50 mikrol) to the claustrum from the lateral side or from above, large numbers of HRP labeled cells were found in the anterior pretectal nuclei. This concerned the anterior compact nucleus more than the anterior reticular. This type of labeling was not observed after injections of HRP to the cerebral cortex and striatum. The results speak in favor of a great a number of pretecto-claustral axons connecting the anterior pretectal neurons with the claustrum.

Demonstration of bilateral claustro-cortical connections in the cat with the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase.
The claustrum of the cat was studied to determine the extent of its projection to the cerebral cortex. Neurons in the bilateral dorsal claustrum are labeled by retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) from injection sites of different neocortical areas with preponderance to the ipsilateral side. It is revealed that the dorsal claustrum projects to almost entire regions of the...
متن کاملConnections of the Optic Tectum in the Carp (
The afferent and efferent connections of the tectum opticum in the carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) were studied with the HRP method. Following iontophoretic peroxidase injections in several parts of the rectum anterograde transport of the enzyme revealed tectal projections to the lateral geniculate nucleus, dorsal tegmentum, pretectal nuclei, nucleus rotundus, torus longitudinalis, torus semicircular...
متن کاملCombined GABA-immunocytochemistry and TMB-HRP histochemistry of pretectal nuclei projecting to the inferior olive in rats, cats and monkeys.
Cells in the pretectal nucleus of the optic tract (NOT) of rats, cats and monkeys were retrogradely labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) stereotaxically injected into the inferior olive (IO). A procedure for stabilizing the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-HRP reaction product was used to visualize combined TMB-HRP and immunohistochemically localized gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the same se...
متن کاملProjections of the amygdaloid body to the insular cortex in the cat.
Experiments were performed on brains of 15 cats with the use of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) retrograde transport method. After injections of HRP to the insular cortex, relatively great numbers of labeled neurons were found in all main nuclei of the amygdaloid body. After injections to the anterior part of the granular insular cortex numerous labeled neurons were located in the lateral, central...
متن کاملFunctional specificity of claustrum connections in the rat: interhemispheric communication between specific parts of motor cortex.
Recent evidence indicates that the rat claustrum interconnects the motor cortical areas in both hemispheres. To elucidate the functional specificity of the interhemispheric connections between the claustrum and primary motor (MI) cortex, anterograde tracer injections in specific parts of MI were paired with retrograde tracer injections in homotopic sites of the opposite hemisphere. In addition ...
