## Abstract The average of neuron counts made in five rat inferior olives was 24,400 neurons per olive, i.e., 48,800 per rat, β 6.8 times fewer than the number of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells. The medial accessory olive was larger, both in terms of volume and cell numbers, than either the dorsal a

The inferior olivary nucleus is a conspicuous cell group in the ventral portion of the medulla oblongata. Its comparative neurological aspects have been intensively investigated, some of its connections are known, but specific evidence for its functional significance has been disappointingly meager.
THREE FIGURES ## INTRODUCTTON As part of a more extensive study 011 the various afferent systems impinging upon the cerebellum (Snider and Stowell, '44), it became necessary to learn more about the widespread connections of the inferior olive to that organ. Onr task was greatly simplified by the
The aim of the present study was to establish whether gracile afferents to the inferior olive are topographically organized and whether such inputs coincide with the location of cells that output to the hindlimb C1 zone in the cerebellar posterior lobe. Small injections (n Ο 15) of the anterograde t
