چکیده
The morphology of tectoreticular neurons in turtles was examined with serial section reconstructions of neurons retrogradely filled with HRP. Six classes of tectal neurons project into the three tectobulbar pathways characterized in the preceding paper (Sereno. '85). (1) Large multipolar neurons with somata in the central gray layers, and with moderately branched dendrites sometimes spanning over a millimeter, project into the dorsal tectobulbar pathway, TBd. Their dendrites are covered with fine spicules and tend to arborize in the lower third of the superficial gray layers. (2) Medium-sized neurons with multiple radial dendrites and somata in the central white and upper periventricular layers probably project into the ipsilateral intermediate tectobulbar pathway, TBi. Their dendrites also bear fine spicules and usually reach the tectal surface. (3) Small radial cells in the periventricular layers, and (4) small bitufted radial cells in the superficial gray project into the small caliber component of the ipsilateral ventral tectobulbar pathway, TBv(sm). ( 5 ) Medium-sized central gray neurons with stratified dendrites, and (6) medium-sized central gray neurons with horizontal dendrites probably project into the medium caliber component of the ventral tectobulbar pathway, TBv(med). In contrast to TBd and TBi neurons, these last four classes emit a spray of long, filamentous dendritic appendages in the central gray and have dendritic arbors near the top of the superficial gray. The morphology of the neurons described in this and the preceding paper is briefly discussed in light of current ideas about tectally mediated sensorimotor transformations.
