title: Non-dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra project to the reticular formation around the trigeminal motor nucleus in the rat.
abstract: The dorsolateral part of the substantia nigra (SN) of the rat was observed to send projection fibers to the reticular formation (RF) around the trigeminal motor nucleus (Vm), bilaterally with a clear-cut ipsilateral dominance, by the anterograde and retrograde tracing techniques with PHA-L and WGA-HRP. A combination of retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) revealed that no SN neurons sending their axons to the RF around the Vm showed TH-like immunoreactivity.
