Abstract
Afferent connection to lateral vestibular nucleus (LVN) was examined using retrograde
transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). When HRP was microiontophoretically applied
to the immediate vicinity of the LVN neuron, which monosynaptically fired spike upon
VIIIth cranial nerve stimulation, HRP-labelled cells were observed in the ipsilateral
lateral reticular nucleus, bilateral gigantocellular nucleus, and contralateral dorsal
cap and beta-nucleus of inferior olive in addition to various parts of cerebellum.
