Distribution of striatal afferents from the mesencephalon in the cat

Abstract

In a series of cats, various quantities of horseradish peroxidase were injected in different parts of the striatum to map out the extent and the topography of the afferent projections from the mesencephalon. Following large injections in the head of the caudate nucleus and putamen, the majority of cells were retrogradely labeled in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and in its dorsal extension the retrorubral nucleus or pars dorsalis (SNd), confirming previous reports. Numerous HRP positive neurons were also present in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the rostral raphe nuclei, including the rostral linear (LR) and intrafascicular (IF) nuclei, forming a mediolateral continuum with SNc. More caudally, labeled cells were found in central linear (LC), superior central (CS) and dorsal raphe nuclei (DR), in the ventrolateral tegmentum and between the decussating fibers of the brachium conjunctivum. Small injections in different mediolateral, dorsoventral and anteroposterior sites of the neostriatum resulted in retrograde transport of HRP to a variety of cell groups in this striatal projecting system indicating a topographical organization. Efferents from SNc and SNd distribute in the striatum in a mediolateral, anteroposter...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
