The distribution of descending brain stem projections to spinal cord in the guinea pig. A horseradish peroxidase study.
In the guinea pig brain stem neurons projecting to the spinal cord were identified by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. Following lumbar injection labelled neurons were found in the RF, VL, R, MNV, TMNV, RTP, NR, PVG, LH and DMH. The distribution of HRP-positive neurons following cervical injection was roughly the same as that observed after lumbar injection except for the presence of labelled cells in the NSNV and their absence in the MNV and TMNV.
