✦ Synopsis
The dispositions and axonal trajectories of bulbospinal neurons in the pons and medulla of mouse and rat embryos is described from the earliest times these projections can be labelled retrogradely from the cervical spinal cord. Reticulospinal and vestibulospinal neurons are clustered into identifiable groups, each with a characteristic combination of spatial domain and axon trajectory. The various groups can be labelled retrogradely in a specific developmental sequence. The position of some groups shifts from medial to lateral with development, apparently through cell migration. These observations show that the basic regional organization of the reticulospinal and vestibulospinal projections is similar in mouse and rat and is already established during early stages of axon outgrowth.
