β¦ Synopsis
Following removal of a significant part of the dentate nucleus and most of the interpositus nucleus in the rat cerebellum degenerated cerebellopontine fibres are shown to end in three fairly restricted regions in the contralateral pontine gray: in the paramedian position, in the middle and in the lateral third. The three regions are arranged in rostro-caudal longitudinal columns in the caudal three-quarters of the pons and these columns are continuous with one another by regions of scattered degeneration. The fibres appear to end in relation to distal dendrites of the pontine cells.

The distribution of labeled cells in the pontine nuclei was studied following microinjections of horseradish peroxidase into three longitudinal zones in the paramedian lobule in the cat. Labeled cells were only found when the staining of the cerebellar cortex included the granular layer. The labeled
The dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) of the thoracic cord (the thoracic DSCT) consists of uncrossed ascending axons originating from Clarke's column, marginal neurons of Clarke's column, and lamina V neurons, and crossed ascending axons originating from neurons in lamina VIII and the ventromedial
Spinocerebellar projections from the cervical enlargement originate from neurons in the medial part of lamina VI and the central part of lamina VII. In the present study, the topographic projections of the cervical enlargement to the cerebellar nuclei were examined by anterograde tracing with biotin
