Abstract
In response to stimulation of the deep layers of the superior colliculus (SC) in the rat, nigral neurons were antidromically activated (latency 0.5-1.5 msec). Effective stimulations were located in ipsi- or contralateral SC deep layers lying above the central gray (CG) or more laterally; nigro-collicular neurons are exclusively located in the pars reticulata of the substantia nigra (SN) and some of them project both to ipsi- and contralateral SC. The functional significance of this nigral projection is discussed.Entities:
