Topographic organization of the interpositorubral connections in the rat. A WGA-HRP study.
The projections from the anterior (NIA) and posterior (NIP) interposed nuclei to the magnocellular red nucleus (RNm) have been investigated in the rat, using the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase-wheatgerm agglutinin conjugate. Projections from the NIA extend throughout the RNm, whereas those from the NIP only reach its medial aspect. In addition, a topographical organization of the NIA-RNm pathway was found, such that the medial NIA projects ventrally, the lateral NIA projects dorsally.
