2006, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Similarly, the neurons of the NOT/DTN employ the same MLF–inferior-olivary–flocculus pathway, but unlike the MTN that project to the rostral dorsal cap, those from the NOT/DTN are relayed through neurons in the caudal parts of the dorsal cap. Interestingly, this distinct rostrocaudal segregation of the pretectal–IO and AOS–IO fibers within the dorsal cap is very consistent across species, e.g., rabbit (Takeda and Maekawa, 1976; Simpson et al., 1988), rat (Giolli et al., 1985a), cat (Hoffmann et al., 1976), and primate (Sekiya and Kawamura, 1985; Hoffmann et al., 1988; Baleydier et al., 1990; Watanabe et al., 1991; Mustari et al., 1994; Blanks et al., 1995). Further, this rostrocaudal segregation of the AOS and NOT afferents to the dorsal cap has been demonstrated in functional labeling studies employing optokinetic stimulation in the horizontal plane activating the neurons of the NOT (Barmack and Young, 1990; Lui et al., 1999; see also Chapter 9).
