We have studied the afferent connections of the inferior colliculus of the albino mouse. Our results show: First, the afferent connections of the inferior colliculus in the mouse are similar to those of other species, however, some differences exist. Second, there is a different projection pattern to the dorsal cortex and the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus; the dorsal cortex receives fibers essentially from auditory centers, while the central nucleus also receives afferents from other structures not related to the auditory system. Third, an interesting parallel may be established between the connections of the inferior colliculus and those of the superior colliculus.

D011712 Pyramidal Tracts Fibers that arise from cells within the cerebral cortex, pass through the medullary pyramid, and descend in the spinal cord. Many authorities say the pyramidal tracts include both the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts.

D006735 Horseradish Peroxidase An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.
