beaded neuron
Neuron located within the core of the nucleus (BSTov)
that is termed a beaded neuron (BN) because of its
rounded soma and numerous spherules along both
dendrites and axon (Fig. 11). The soma measures from
12 to 17 micrometers in its widest axis and is nearly
spherical, having a rather smooth profile. The soma issues
two or three short primary dendrites, which usually run
horizontally. After a short distance (10 to 40
micrometers), these proximal branches give rise to sets of
two to five long, secondary dendrites. The occurrence of
third to order dendrites is variable, as is their length (20 to
150 micrometers). A defining characteristic of BN
dendrites is the presence of distinct varicosities that are
virtually devoid of dendritic spines. The BN axon and its
collaterals also exhibit a series of small spherules (0.3-0.5
um) united by thin axonal bridges (Lariva-Sahd, 2006, as
reported in http://brancusi.usc.edu/bkms).

innervates several outer hair cells, each inner hair cell
receives several more heavily myelinated, auditory-nerve
dendrites. Neurotransmitter release activates the auditory
nerve, which leads to the cochlear nucleus within the
central auditory pathway.(MSH)
Cochlea outer hair
cell
In mammals, the outer hair cells are arranged in three
rows that are further removed from the modiolus than the
single row of inner hair cells. Although receiving only ~5%
of the innervating auditory nerve dendrites, the motile
properties of the outer hair cells actively contribute to the
sensitivity and frequency selectivity of the cochlea. The
process of somatic electromotility, due to the presence of
the motor protein, prestin, is essential for normal cochlear
function. Outer hair cell function is also directly influenced
by efferent input from the medial superior olivary
complex. (MSH)

Cochlear nucleus
(dorsal) vertical cell
Intrinsic neuron found in the deep layer of the dorsal
cochlear nucleus, whose cell bodies and dendrites are
intermingled among the basal dendritic trees of pyramidal
cells. Their dendrites are smooth and lie in the plane of an
isofrequency sheet; in sections in standard planes, parts of
the dendrites are cut so they appear to be oriented
vertically, perpendicular to the plane of the layers. They
are inhibitory and use glycine as a neurotransmitter.

The distinction between globular and spherical bushy cells
was originally reported by Osen on the basis of a
difference in the shape of the cell bodies. Globular bushy
cells lie in and around the root of the auditory nerve. Their
axons project to the contralateral medial nucleus of the
trapezoid body (MNTB), innervating principal cells with a
calyx of Held.

Bushy cells in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus have one

olivary nuclei. They carry information that is used to
localize sounds in the azimuthal plane. Three types of
bushy cells differ in the shapes of their somata and in their
patterns of projection. The cell somata of these neurons
have been described as "spherical" in the anterior division
of the AVCN and "globular" in the posterior division of
the AVCN. Large spherical bushy cells project to the

it is not yet clear which cells are their targets. Their inputs

Principal Cell
Winer and colleagues (1996) first described that
GABAergic neurons project to the medial geniculate body
in cat. Peruzzi et al. (1997) showed that the cell type is
also found in rats, and sends action potentials more
rapidly than glutamatergic IC neurons. Ito and colleagues
(2009) showed that the cell type is the largest neuron in
the IC and receives dense VGLUT2-positive axosomatic
terminals on the cell body. Other cell types such as
glutamatergic neurons and small GABAergic neurons do
not have such endings.

It is not established that there are "pure" local interneurons
of which axons are restricted in the inferior colliculus (IC).
However, even after a large injection of retrograde tracer
into the medial geniculate body (MGB), a main target of
IC projection, most small GABAergic neurons, which
lack dense excitatory axosomatic terminals, were not
labeled with the tracer. On the other hand, large
GABAergic neurons send axons to the MGB.

Around 80% of neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) is
glutamatergic (Ito and Oliver, 2012). They express
vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) 2 but not
VGLUT1 or VGLUT3 (Ito and Oliver, 2010, 2011).
Their main target is the medial geniculate body although
they send axons to most auditory brainstem nuclei. Since
majority of IC neurons are disc-shaped, which extend
their dendrite parallel to isofrequency laminae (Oliver,
1984), majority of glutamatergic neurons are likely to be
disc-shaped. Stellate neurons, which are less common
and extend dendrite perpendicular to isofrequency

Colliculus superior
deep vertical
fusiform cell
Deep vertical fusiform cells have cell bodies about 20
micrometers wide and their dendrites extend from the
upper margin of the zone of vertical cells to the depth of
the zone of optic fibers perhaps even deeper. The
superficial and deep fields are usually notably different in
the manner in which the dendrites branch and spread, the
over to all size of the fields, the shapes of the fields, the
type and density of spines, and the caliber of the
dendrites.

The intermediate vertical fusiform cells have cell bodies 12
to 18 micrometers in diameter in the upper portion of the
zone of vertical cells and their dendritic fields extend from
the collicular surface to the deep margin of the zone of
vertical cells (fig. 12b, 13). Intermediate vertical fusiform
cells most often have a superficial field with relatively
fewer spines, straighter, more even caliber dendrites that
branch less often but more equally than those in the deep
field of the same cell (figs. 12b, 13).

inverted pyramidal
cell
The inverted pyramidal cell is similar to the pyramidal cell
except that the cell body lies within the deep portion of
the zone of horizontal cells. The superficial field is a
circumsomatic field and the deep field is elongated to
reach into the deeper portion of the zone of vertical cells.
The cell body is about the size of an intermediate vertical
fusiform cell soma. The axon is similar, but more apt to
have collaterals to the superficial zones. Inverted
pyramidal cells fall within the definition of the narrow field
vertical cells.

piriform cell
The piriform cells have ovoid or cup shaped cell bodies,
10 to 15 micrometers in diameter, located within a narrow
lamina along the deep margin of the zone of horizontal
cells. The restriction of the piriform cell somata to the
boundary between the zone of horizontal cells and the
zone of vertical cells is remarkably accurate and
consistent. The piriform cells give rise to 2 to 5 dendrites
from the superficial surface, which course through the
zone of horizontal cells to terminate just beneath the
piriform cell

zone of horizontal cells to terminate just beneath the
surface. As the ascending dendrites approach the surface
they branch more frequently, almost always by
equipartition, to form a complicated intermingling bouquet
of slowly tapering dendrites, 150 to 350 micrometers in
width and slightly less than 200 micrometers in depth. The
axon most frequently takes its origin from the base of the
soma, but sometimes it arises from one of the low order
dendrites. From its origin the axon runs immediately down
through the zone of vertical cells, occasionally with
collaterals which may arborize within the superficial
laminae. The axon is thin and smooth, occasionally with en
passant varicosities.
Colliculus superior
pyramidal cell
Pyramidal cells are similar to vertical fusiform cells in most
respects. They have a vertically elongated cell body,
about 15 micrometers in transverse diameter, in the
deeper half of the zone of vertical cells. The dendritic field
is narrow and cylindrical, 100 to 250 micrometer in
diameter, and extends from the upper margin of the zone
of horizontal cells to the lower margin of the zone of
vertical cells, about 500 micrometers. Rather than having
superficial and deep fields, the pyramidal cell has the deep
field reduced to a circumsomatic field, or a diminuitive
basal field, and the superficial field is relatively elongated
to accord with the deeper cell body. Pyramidal cells are
usually multipolar, with one or two thick apical dendrites,
which branch several times on the way to the surface,
particularly in the upper portion of the zone of horizontal
cells, and several smaller dendrites which form a small
field about the cell body. It is of interest that smooth
pyramidal cells tend to have two primary dendrites, like
smooth vertical fusiform cells. The axon takes its origin
from the soma or a low order dendrite and runs down into
the deep zones. It is smooth and thin, about like that of
the vertical fusiform cells.

stellate neuron
The third major category of cells in the superior colliculus
is the stellate cell. The cells are defined by the lack of
overall orientation to the dendritic fields which extend
symmetrically from the cell body. Stellate cells are
multipolar with dendrites arising from any portion of the
cell body. The dendrites may range anywhere from
gnarled to radiate with the gnarled spiny cells most

gnarled to radiate with the gnarled spiny cells most
frequent in the zone of horizontal cells and the smooth
radiate cells increasingly more frequent in the deeper
zones until they are almost the only cell type in the zones
below the stratum opticum. The dimensions of the cell
bodies and dendritic fields are comparable to those of
other cells in the same zone and the dendritic field is
generally contained within the same zone as the cell body.
The axons of stellate cells have both local and/or distant
distributions and a morphology characteristic of intrinsic
axons. As with all the other cell types, the axon may take
its origin from the cell body or a low order dendrite.

wide field vertical
cell
There are two similar populations in the group of wide
field vertical cells. The first lies in the deep margin of the
zone of vertical cells where it looks very similar to the
piriform cells relative to the zone of horizontal cells. Cajal
called these the ovoid or triangular cells. The second
population has its cell bodies distributed primarily to the
upper portion of the zone of optic fibers. Cajal called
these triangular or stellate cells. Cajal's nomenclature is
rather bulky and, though descriptive, somewhat confusing
because stellate cells are a distinct cell type in the
nomenclature of this paper and triangular occurs in both
names. For reasons developed below, the ovoid or
triangular cells or wide field cells of the zone of vertical
cells will be called Type II ganglion cells and the triangular
or stellate cells or wide field cells of the zone of optic
fibers will be called Type III ganglion cells. Type I
ganglion cells are the piriform cells. Collator note: we
assumed this class of neurons as projection neurons,
because at least several subpopulations project to visually
related areas. See Sefton et al., 2005; Mason and Groos,
1981; Mackay to Sim et al. 1983; Okoyama and Kudo,
1987).
