    three dimensional arrangement in the neuropil space. The

    secondary and tertiary dendritic branches are studded

    with long fusiform or triangular spines (Baloyannis, S. J.,

    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

    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

    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)

    Winer and colleagues (1996) first described that

    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.

    Colliculus inferior

    principal cell

    Around 80% of neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) is

    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

    intermediate vertical

    fusiform cell

    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).

    (CB) containing interneurons, and VIP-positive basket

    cells, but they do not innervate PV-containing

    interneurons. The dendrites of Dentate gyrus IS I neurons

    appear in all layers of Dentate gyrus and more

    characteristic feature of these dendrites is that they form

    long dendrodendritic junctions with each other.
