title: Parabrachial nucleus neurons providing axons to both the thalamus and the spinal cord in the rat.
abstract: After injecting Fluoro-gold (FG) and tetramethylrhodamine-dextran amine (TMR-DA), respectively, into the medial part of the ventrobasal thalamus and the upper segments of the cervical cord of the rat, a small number of neuronal cell bodies were double-labeled retrogradely with both FG and TMR-DA in the parabrachial nuclear complex (BPN) ipsilateral to the injection into the thalamus. The cell bodies double-labeled with FG/TMR-DA were seen mainly in the Kölliker-Fuse subnucleus and additionally in the external medial subnucleus.
