Abstract

Antidromic stimulation was used to study corticopontine visual axons and their tectal collaterals in cats. Sixty-seven cortical cells were activated antidromically by electrical stimulation of the rostral pontine visual area, 38 in area 18, and 29 in lateral suprasylvian cortex. Two thirds of these corticopontine cells (46 cells) could also be antidromically activated by stimulation of the superior colliculus, demonstrating that they gave rise to a tectal collateral.
