title: [Distribution of cholinergic efferent vestibular neurons].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect and distribution of cholinergic efferent vestibular neurons in normal wistar rat.
  
  
  METHODS
  HPR retrograde tracer and Immunocytochemical techniques were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results show that AchT immunoreactive neurons locate in dorsolateral and dorsomedial to genu of the facial. Few neurons scatter in the parvocellular nucleus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  As a neural transmitter, acetylcholine distribute in efferent vestibular neurons and play an important role.
