colliculogeniculate (notcomparable)
- Pertaining to the connection between theinferior colliculus orsuperior colliculus and thegeniculate nucleus.
1963, Louis Hausman,Clinical Neuroanatomy, with a Method of Brain Reconstruction, page40:Some of the cells of the inferior colliculi send commissural fibers to the opposite colliculus; others sendcolliculogeniculate fibers (inferior brachium) to the medial geniculate body of the thalamus; some to the superior colliculus (acustico-optic fibers) and some to the cerebellum (tectocerebellar fibers).
2012, D. Kent Morest, Jeffery A. Winer,The Comparative Anatomy of Neurons:These may correspond to the thincolliculogeniculate endings previously described in the cat ventral nucleus (Morest 1975: Fig. 7, top) and, perhaps, to the phalangiform axons seen in the dorsal division (W iner and Morest 1984).
2013, William D. Neff -,Contributions to Sensory Physiology, page62:These data suggest that at birth thecolliculogeniculate projection is more mature than the corticogeniculate projection but less developed than the retinogeniculate pathway.
