ABSTRACT
The direct spinal projections from the cerebellar nuclei in the rabbit were retro gradely traced by unilateral injection of WGA-HRP into different levels of the spinal cord, including the cervical, thoracic and lumbar segments. The labeled neurons in the cerebellar nuclei were constantly seen in those animals, in which the upper cervical segments (C_(2-4)) were injected. No labeled neurons could be found in the cerebellar nuclei following injection into the lower cervical cord (C_(6-8)) or more caudal segments. All labeled neurons were located in the caudal parts of the fastigial and the interposed nuclei on the side contralateral to the injection. The results show that there are crossed projections from the cerebellar nuclei directly to the upper cervical cord. This study provide certain morphological evidences for further investigation of some aspects of cerebellar functions on motor coordination.
