  • Title: The cerebellar projection of the vestibular nerve in the cat.
    Author: Korte GE, Mugnaini E.
    Journal: J Comp Neurol; 1979 Mar 15; 184(2):265-77. PubMed ID: 762284.
    Abstract:
    The projection of the vestibular nerve to the cerebellum of the cat was examined with silver degeneration methods after complete lesions of the vestibular ganglion. The majority of the primary vestibular afferents were traced to the cortex of the ipsilateral nodulus and uvula, relatively fewer entering the ipsilateral flocculus. Fibers were not traced to the paraflocculus, lingula or lateral cerebellar nucleus. A sparse projection to the ipsilateral fastigial nucleus may exist, but it remains equivocal until confirmed with additional methods. Light microscopic examination of plastic sections confirmed these observations and showed further details of the organization of the primary vestibular projection to the nodulus and uvula. These results show that the region of the cerebellum densely innervated by primary vestibular afferents is smaller than previously believed.
