Abstract:
The dentatorubral projection has been mapped in rats using autoradiography. Any part of lateral cerebellar nucleus (NL) projects throughout the contralateral parvocellular red nucleus (NRp) rostrocaudally; the projection is topographically organized: (1) a caudorostral shift in the NL corresponds to a dorsoventral displacement through the NRp; matching of this arrangement with the origin of rubrospinal projections is discussed; (2) only ventral parts of the NL, including the parvocellar subnucleus, project to the lateral edge of the NRp.
