[Dendroarchitectonic study of the inferior colliculus in the cat].
A network analysis of dendritic fields of the cells of the inferior colliculus has been performed in the adult cat. The cells of the dorso-medial nucleus have a smaller volume, less terminal segments and more dendritic spines than the cells of the ventral lateral nucleus. The bifurcation ratio of the different cells makes it possible to separate two different types of cells: order 2 cells with a strictly monochotomous branching on random segment and order 3 cells which dendrites grown by terminal branching on random pendant arcs.
