Abstract
By means of retrograde axonal transport of fluorescent substances, e.g., Propidium Iodide, Fast Blue, and Nuclear Yellow, the present study was made to determine whether or not single neurons in the cat inferior colliculus share ascending and descending projections to the following two pairs of structures, i.e. (1) to the medial geniculate body and cochlear nuclei, and (2) to the superior colliculus and pontine nuclei. Our findings indicate that extremely few neurons, if any, in the inferior colliculus harbor such divergent axon collaterals, although most of the different types of projection neurons are located in the same subdivisions of the colliculus.
