The local loop of the saccadic system closes downstream of the superior colliculus
2006, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :These authors provided a substantial list of fibers and neurons likely to mediate them. Briefly, they include collicular efferents deploying terminal fields in the abducens nucleus (Grantyn and Grantyn, 1982; Grantyn and Berthoz, 1985; Olivier et al., 1993), reticulospinal neurons which receive input from the SC and project to the abducens nucleus (Grantyn et al., 1980, 1987), neurons of the PH which also receive input from the SC and project to the abducens nucleus (Grantyn and Grantyn, 1982; Grantyn and Berthoz, 1985; Olivier et al., 1993) and tectorecipient reticulospinal neurons which discharge during orienting eye–neck synergies and give substantial collateral projections to both the PH and the medial vestibular nucleus (Grantyn et al., 1980, 1987, 1992). Since, most of the tectal efferents participating in these projections pass through the PDB, their stimulation and the generation of slow drifts were unavoidable in a majority of our stimulation sites.
