Neural organization from the superior colliculus to motoneurons in the horizontal oculomotor system of the cat.

Abstract:

:The neural organization of the superior colliculus (SC) projection to horizontal ocular motoneurons was analyzed in anesthetized cats using intracellular recording and transneuronal labeling. Intracellular responses to SC stimulation were analyzed in lateral rectus (LR) and medial rectus (MR) motoneurons and internuclear neurons in the abducens nucleus (AINs). LR motoneurons and AINs received excitation from the contralateral SC and inhibition from the ipsilateral SC. The shortest excitation (0.9-1.9 ms) and inhibition (1.4-2.4 ms) were mainly disynaptic from the SC and were followed by tri- and polysynaptic responses evoked with increasing stimuli or intensity. All MR motoneurons received excitation from the ipsilateral SC, whereas none of them received any short-latency inhibition from the contralateral SC, but some received excitation. The latency of the ipsilateral excitation in MR motoneurons (1.7-2.8 ms) suggested that this excitation was trisynaptic via contralateral AINs, because conditioning SC stimulation spatially facilitated trisynaptic excitation from the ipsilateral vestibular nerve. To locate interneurons mediating the disynaptic SC inputs to LR motoneurons, last-order premotor neurons were labeled transneuronally after injecting wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase into the abducens nerve, and tectoreticular axon terminals were labeled after injecting dextran-biotin into the ipsilateral or contralateral SC in the same preparations. Transneuronally labeled neurons were mainly distributed ipsilaterally in the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) rostral to retrogradely labeled LR motoneurons and the vestibular nuclei, and contralaterally in the paramedian pontomedullary reticular formation (PPMRF) caudomedial to the abducens nucleus and the vestibular nuclei. Among the last-order premotor neuron areas, orthogradely labeled tectoreticular axon terminals were observed only in the PPRF and the PPMRF contralateral to the injected SC and seemed to make direct contacts with many of the labeled last-order premotor neurons in the PPRF and the PPMRF. These morphological results confirmed that the main excitatory and inhibitory connections from the SC to LR motoneurons are disynaptic and that the PPRF neurons that receive tectoreticular axon terminals from the contralateral SC terminate on ipsilateral LR motoneurons, whereas the PPMRF neurons that receive tectoreticular axon terminals from the contralateral SC terminate on contralateral LR motoneurons.
