    Journal: Brain Behav Evol; 1989; 33(6):334-41. PubMed ID: 2765852.
    Abstract:
    The topographic organization of the corticonuclear fibers from the tuber vermis and paramedian lobule in the albino rat was investigated by autoradiographic anterograde tracing method. The medial portion of the tuber vermis projects to the dorsal part of the caudomedial subdivision of the medial cerebellar nucleus (MNcm), whereas the lateral portion of the tuber vermis projects to the dorsal part of the MNcm and the caudal part of the middle subdivision of the medial nucleus. The intermediate cortex of the paramedian lobule can be subdivided mediolaterally into three portions which project to the dorsolateral protuberance of the medial cerebellar nucleus, the rostrodorsal part of the posterior interpositus nucleus, and the caudodorsal part of the lateral anterior interpositus nucleus, respectively. The lateral cortex of the paramedian lobule can also be subdivided mediolaterally into two portions: the medial portion projects to the dorsolateral hump, and the lateral one to the lateral cerebellar nucleus. These results indicate that the cortical efferent fibers from the tuber vermis and paramedian lobule are clearly organized in the mediolateral direction in the albino rat.
