The organization of the projection from the pretectal region to the inferior olive in the cat was studied with autoradiographic and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) methods. After injections of HRP into the olive in six cats, cells were labeled ipsilaterally in the anterior pretectal nucleus (NPA), the posterior pretectal nucleus (NPP), the nucleus of the optic tract (NOT), and the dorsal terminal nucleus of the accessory optic tract (DTN). In three experiments, tritiated amino acids were injected into those parts of the pretectal region which contained labeled cells in the HRP experiments, and the projections to the olive were plotted. Both NPA and NPP projected to the rostral half of the dorsal accessory olive, the rostromedial margin of the ventral lamella, and the lateral part of the ventrolateral outgrowth. NOT projected to the caudal half of the dorsal cap, while DTN projected to both the dorsal cap and nucleus beta. The projections are entirely ipsilateral.
运用放射自显影术和辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）法，对猫前顶盖区至下橄榄核的投射组织进行了研究。在对6只猫的橄榄核注射HRP后，在前顶盖前核（NPA）、前顶盖后核（NPP）、视束核（NOT）和副视束背侧终核（DTN）中发现同侧标记细胞。在三个实验中，将氚化氨基酸注射到HRP实验中含有标记细胞的前顶盖区部分，并绘制了至橄榄核的投射图。NPA和NPP均投射至背侧副橄榄核的 Rostral 半部、腹侧薄片的 Rostromedial 边缘以及腹外侧隆起的外侧部分。NOT投射至背侧帽的尾侧半部，而DTN投射至背侧帽和β核。这些投射均完全是同侧性的。
