Topographical organization of the inferior collicular projection and other connections of the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus in the cat

The topographic distribution of projections from the ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (VNLL) in the cat was investigated with the autoradiographic tracing method. The origin of minor projections was verified by retrograde tracing methods. Small injections of tritiated leucine were placed in restricted zones of VNLL. A major afferent fiber system to the inferior colliculus was labeled in all cases. From the injection site labeled fibers coursed through and around the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus to enter the ipsilateral inferior colliculus. Regardless of the position or small size of the injection, labeled fibers distributed widely in the inferior colliculus. Fibers ended in the central nucleus and deeper layers of the dorsal cortex in most cases. There was also labeling in the ventrolateral nucleus, but very few fibers ended as lateral as the lateral nucleus. A small number of labeled fibers passed from the inferior colliculus into the nucleus of the brachium of the inferior colliculus and adjacent tegmental areas. Some labeled fibers entered the commissure of the inferior colliculus where they were traced into the dorsal cortex and rostral pole of the inferior colliculus on the side contralateral to the injection site.
