Abstract：
:The superior colliculus (SC) is critical for directing accurate head and eye movements to visual and acoustic targets. In visual cortex, areas involved in orienting of the head and eyes to a visual stimulus have direct projections to the SC. In auditory cortex of the cat, four areas have been identified to be critical for the accurate orienting of the head and body to an acoustic stimulus. These areas include primary auditory cortex (A1), the posterior auditory field (PAF), the dorsal zone of auditory cortex (DZ), and the auditory field of the anterior ectosylvian sulcus (fAES). Therefore, we hypothesized that these four regions of auditory cortex would have direct projections to the SC. To test this hypothesis, deposits of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) were made into the superficial and deep layers of the SC to label, by means of retrograde transport, the auditory cortical origins of the corticotectal pathway. Bilateral examination of auditory cortex revealed that the vast majority of the labeled cells were located in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the SC injection. In ipsilateral auditory cortex, nearly all the labeled neurons were found in the infragranular layers, predominately in layer V. The largest population of labeled cells was located in the fAES. Few labeled neurons were identified in A1, PAF, or DZ. Thus, in contrast to the visual system, only one of the auditory cortical areas involved in orienting to an acoustic stimulus has a strong direct projection to the SC. Sound localization signals processed in primary (A1) and other non-primary (PAF and DZ) auditory cortices may be transmitted to the SC via a multi-synaptic corticotectal network.

HEARING RESEARCH文献大全abstract：:Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are weak sounds that originate from the inner ear which are traditionally classified/named based on their evoking stimulus. Recently, it has been argued that such a classification, at least for mammals, misrepresents the underlying mechanisms of emission-generation. As an alternative class...
