Abstract
Injections of horseradish peroxidase into the various parts of the cerebellar cortex and the cerebellar nuclei in the cat result in labelled cells within the reticular formation proper. All the reticular nuclei (with the exception of the reticular formation of the mesencephalon) send fibres to the cerebellum. The highest number of labelled neurons after cerebellar injections is found in the caudal reticular formation, especially within nucleus reticularis ventralis, nucleus reticularis lateralis and nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis. Another region for an accumulation of labelled cells is the rostral part of nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis. Except for the paraflocculus, all cerebellar cortical areas and all cerebellar nuclei receive afferents from one or more of the nuclei within the reticular formation proper, but the largest number of labelled neurons is observed in cases with injections including the intermediate-lateral part of lobulus simplex and the adjacent areas of the anterior lobe and crus I. The projection is bilateral with an ipsilateral preponderance (the cerebellar nuclei appear to receive a higher number of fibres from the contralateral side). Cells of all sizes are labelled, but labelled giant cells are found only after large cortical injections. © 1980 Springer-Verlag.
