The extraocular motor nuclei: Organization and functional neuroanatomy
2006, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :There was usually leakage from the RBM injections, so it is difficult to estimate how many neurons in abducens and the OMN also supplied the RBM. However, both anatomical and physiological experiments confirm that abducens and oculomotor neurons also innervate the RBM (Crandall et al., 1981; Meredith et al., 1981). In primates, neurons just ventral to, and in, the VI innervate the accessory lateral rectus muscle which is a vestigial form of the retractor bulbi (Chapter 2; Spencer and Porter, 1981; Schnyder, 1984).
Biological organization of the extraocular muscles
2006, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The mammalian retractor bulbi muscle variably has two (mouse), three (dog), or four (rat, rabbit, cat) slips. Innervation of the retractor bulbi exhibits species-specific patterns from branches of the oculomotor and/or abducens nerves (Spencer and Sterling, 1977; Grant et al., 1979, 1981; Crandall et al., 1981; Meredith et al., 1981; Evinger et al., 1987). With the regression of the nictitating membrane to a vestigial plica semilunaris in primates, the retractor bulbi is reduced to a single homologous slip in the monkey, the accessory lateral rectus muscle, which is innervated by the abducens nerve (Spencer and Porter, 1981; Schnyder, 1984).
