An ipsilateral projection from the red nucleus to the lateral reticular nucleus in the cat

Injections of the wheat germ agglutinin--horseradish peroxidase complex into the lateral reticular nucleus reveal that in addition to the well known contralateral rubroreticular connection, there is also a small but clear cut ipsilateral projection. Cells of various sizes participate in this ipsilateral pathway, and the retrogradely labelled neurons lie dispersed throughout the entire red nucleus.
