✦ Synopsis

The cerebellar projection from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus was studied in the cat by means of retrograde transport of the wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex. The present findings give evidence that the flocculus is the main terminal area. However, small tracer implants and injections into various parts of the cerebellar nuclei and cortex revealed projections also to the fastigial and interposed nuclei and to most parts of the anterior and posterior lobe cortices. The projecting neurons are small and located bilaterally throughout the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. No topical differences between the projections to different parts of the cerebellum were found.
