Monocular eye movement in the cat: its corticotectal pathway.

The corticotectal pathway from the fundus of the cat's coronal sulcus (CORo) from which monocular movements of contralateral eye were evoked was studied using electrophysiological and anatomical techniques. Neurons in the CORo were activated antidromically by electrical stimulation of the deep layer of the superior colliculus (SC). Labeled cells were found in the CORo following horseradish peroxidase injection in the SC.
