  • Title: The projection from the superior colliculus to the lateral reticular nucleus in the cat as studied with retrograde transport of WGA-HRP.
    Author: Qvist H, Dietrichs E.
    Journal: Anat Embryol (Berl); 1985; 173(2):269-74. PubMed ID: 3002208.
    Abstract:
    Medium-sized and large superior collicular neurons were retrogradely labelled after small ejections of the wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex in the lateral reticular nucleus of the feline medulla. The projection from the superior colliculus to the lateral reticular nucleus is bilateral with a contralateral predominance. It originates mainly from the intermediate, but also from the deep gray layer of the superior colliculus. Our observations provide evidence that the lateral reticular nucleus is an important target of tectal efferents. The findings are discussed in relation to the organization of other fiber connections of the superior colliculus.
