Distribution of corticotectal axons from the caudal part of the anterior ectosylvian sulcus in the cat.
Axonal projections from cells in cortex surrounding the caudal part of the anterior ectosylvian sulcus (AES) to the superior colliculus (SC) were examined using anterograde tracers. The projection terminates in the medial two-thirds of the deep layers of SC bilaterally, and appears to be topographically organized, perhaps according to the sensory modality (auditory and visual) represented in the caudal part of AES.
