We used retrograde transneuronal transport of herpes simplex virus
type 1 to map the origin of cerebellar and basal ganglia "projections" to leg, arm, and face areas of the primary motor cortex (M1). Four to five days after virus injections into M1, we
observed many densely labeled neurons in localized regions of the
output nuclei of the cerebellum and basal ganglia. The largest numbers
of these neurons were found in portions of the dentate nucleus and the
internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi). Smaller numbers of
labeled neurons were found in portions of the interpositus nucleus and
the substantia nigra pars reticulata. The distribution of neuronal
labeling varied with the cortical injection site. For example, within
the dentate, neurons labeled from leg M1 were located rostrally, those
from face M1 caudally, and those from arm M1 at intermediate levels. In
each instance, labeled neurons were confined to approximately the
dorsal third of the nucleus. Within GPi, neurons labeled from leg M1
were located in dorsal and medial regions, those from face M1 in
ventral and lateral regions, and those from arm M1 in intermediate
regions. These results demonstrate that M1 is the target of
somatotopically organized outputs from both the cerebellum and basal
ganglia. Surprisingly, the projections to M1 originate from only 30%
of the volume of the dentate and <15% of GPi. Thus, the majority of
the outputs from the cerebellum and basal ganglia are directed to
cortical areas other than M1.
