The purpose of the present study was to define the field of termination of the neocortical projection to the inferior colliculus in rat. The study was based on fiber degeneration following large lesions of the cerebral cortex, and anterograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin horseradish peroxidase ejected iontophoretically into more restricted neocortical loci. Neocortical fibers were found to supply the dorsal and external cortices of the inferior colliculus. The central nucleus, in contrast, did not receive such fibers. The results speak in favor of three separate projections, one partly bilateral to the deeper part of the dorsal collicular cortex, a second ipsilateral to the superficial part of this subdivision, and a third ipsilateral to the external collicular cortex.
本研究的目的是确定大鼠新皮质向下丘投射的终止区域。该研究基于大脑皮质大面积损伤后的纤维变性，以及将小麦胚凝集素辣根过氧化物酶通过离子电泳注入更局限的新皮质位点后的顺行运输。发现新皮质纤维供应下丘的背侧和外侧皮质。相比之下，中央核未接受此类纤维。结果支持三种独立的投射，一种部分双侧投射至背侧丘系皮质的深部，第二种同侧投射至该亚区的浅部，第三种同侧投射至外侧丘系皮质。
