Abstract
Methods allowing a direct matching of movement-related firing patterns and connectivity of individual neurons have been used in the analysis of premotor networks controlling orienting movements. Advances have been made in the description of coding properties of orienting-related tectal output neurons, as well as in specifying their distributed connections in the brain stem and possible modes of coupling to saccadic pattern generators in the reticular formation. New data on the properties of signals and connectivity patterns have also been obtained for the tecto-recipient reticulo-spinal neurons. At least a small portion of the network performing the spatio-temporal transformations of orienting-related tectal efferent signals can now be described both in functional and in morphological terms.
