Dorsal root projections to the cerebellum in turtle.
After injection of S35-methionine into cervical and lumbar dorsal root ganglia in turtle, a primary afferent projection was demonstrated on to the cerebellum. Few, but consistent patches of silver grains were found within the granular layer suggesting mossy fiber terminations. The projection was mainly ipsilateral and most intense in rostral cerebellar regions.
