Abstract
The projection of cells in the medial vestibular nucleus has been studied by extracellular recording in decerebellated cats anesthetized with chloralose urethan. All electrode tracks were identified with fast green dye marks. Cells were identified by anti-dromic stimulation, and 41% had branches that ascended rostral to Deiters'' nucleus, while only 17% projected to the spinal cord. Only 24% of the latter had long ascending branches. There were almost no cells with long axons in the caudal third of the nucleus.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
