The magnocellular red nucleus (RNm), a brainstem premotor structure, is a major target of the interposed nucleus (IN), and has also been described in previous studies to send feedback collaterals to the cerebellum. Because such a pathway is in a key position to provide motor efferent information to the cerebellum, satisfying predictions about the use of corollary discharge in cerebellar computations, we studied it in mice of both sexes. Using anterograde viral tracing, we show that innervation of cerebellum by rubrospinal neuron collaterals is remarkably selective for the IN compared with the cerebellar cortex. Optogenetic activation of the pathway in acute mouse brain slices drove IN activity despite small amplitude synaptic currents, suggesting an active role in IN information processing. Monosynaptic transsynaptic rabies tracing indicated the pathway contacts multiple cell types within the IN. By contrast, IN inputs to the RNm targeted a region that lacked inhibitory neurons. Optogenetic drive of IN inputs to the RNm revealed strong, direct excitation but no inhibition of RNm neurons. Together, these data indicate that the cerebellar nuclei are under afferent control independent of the cerebellar cortex, potentially diversifying its roles in motor control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT<\/jats:bold>\n                    The common assumption that all cerebellar mossy fibers uniformly collateralize to the cerebellar nuclei and cortex underlies classic models of convergent Purkinje influence on cerebellar output. Specifically, mossy fibers are thought to both directly excite nuclear neurons and drive polysynaptic feedforward inhibition via Purkinje neurons, setting up a fundamental computational unit. Here we present data that challenge this rule. A dedicated cerebellar nuclear afferent comprised of feedback collaterals from premotor rubrospinal neurons can directly modulate IN output independent of Purkinje cell modulation. In contrast to the IN-RNm pathway, the RNm-IN feedback pathway targets multiple cell types, potentially influencing both motor output pathways and nucleo-olivary feedback.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.1093-17.2017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,15]],"date-time":"2017-09-15T21:10:36Z","timestamp":1505509836000},"page":"10085-10096","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Rubrocerebellar Feedback Loop Isolates the Interposed Nucleus as an Independent Processor of Corollary Discharge Information in Mice"],"prefix":"10.1523","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Christy S.","family":"Beitzel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brenda D.","family":"Houck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samantha M.","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abigail L.","family":"Person","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"393","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00204592","article-title":"The distributed representation of vestibulo-oculomotor signals by brain-stem neurons","volume":"61","author":"Anastasio","year":"1989","journal-title":"Biol Cybern"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(71)90005-9"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14734220500462757"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1091180302"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-0102(92)90092-Q"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.1937-09.2009"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00320393"},{"key":"2023041803272885000_37.42.10085.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chan-Palay V (1977) Cerebellar dentate nucleus: organization, cytology and transmitters.
