    Journal: J Hirnforsch; 1990; 31(6):747-59. PubMed ID: 1709189.
    Abstract:
    Organization of brainstem projections to the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) in the rabbit has been studied using the method of retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase or wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. Injections of tracers into INC resulted in bilateral labelling in the medial terminal nucleus of the accessory optic tract, medial region of the zona incerta, vestibular nuclei (superior, medial, inferior), rostral portion of the prepositus nucleus and several nuclei of the pontine and medullary reticular formation. Retrograde labelling on the contralateral side was noted in all 4 deep cerebellar nuclei, the lateral vestibular nucleus, group Y, the rostral interstitial nucleus of the medial longitudinal fascicle, INC and mesencephalic reticular formation dorsal and lateral to the red nucleus. Cells of origin for the ipsilateral afferents of INC were found only in the nucleus of the posterior commissure. These data are discussed in relation to other morphological and physiological studies of afferent connectivity of INC in other species.
