The intrinsic organization of the vestibular complex: evidence for internuclear connectivity.
The HRP anterograde and retrograde labeling techniques provide evidence for extensive internuclear connectivity within the vestibular complex. Specifically: (1) the superior vestibular nucleus is topographically and reciprocally related to the spinal (spr) and medial vestibular nuclei (mv); (2) the lateral vestibular nucleus (lv) is reciprocally related to the mv, and (3) the lv receives afferent fibers from the spv but does not reciprocate this input.
