The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) is a functionally and
anatomically heterogeneous region that is concerned with multiple aspects of sensory processing and sensorimotor integration. Although considerable information is available about the corticocortical connections to the IPL, much less is known about the origin and importance of subcortical inputs to this cortical region. To examine this issue, we used retrograde transneuronal transport of the McIntyre-B strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) to identify the
second-order neurons in subcortical nuclei that project to the IPL.
Four monkeys (Cebus apella) received injections of HSV1 into three different subregions of the IPL. Injections into a portion
of the lateral intraparietal area labeled second-order neurons
primarily in the superficial (visual) layers of the superior colliculus. Injections of HSV1 into a portion of area 7a labeled many
second-order neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. In contrast,
virus injections within a portion of area 7b labeled second-order
neurons in posterior regions of the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum.
These observations have some important functional implications. The IPL
is known to be involved in oculomotor and attentional mechanisms, the
establishment of maps of extrapersonal space, and the adaptive
recalibration of eye-hand coordination. Our findings suggest that
these functions are subserved by distinct subcortical systems from the
superior colliculus, hippocampus, and cerebellum. Furthermore, the
finding that each system appears to target a separate subregion of the
IPL provides an anatomical substrate for understanding the functional
heterogeneity of the IPL.
