Fig. 3.
Series of equidistant (80 µm) photomicrographs of transverse, thionine-stained Sects. (40 µm) of the mouse CN from its caudal-most level (panel 1) to its rostral-most level (panel 18). Midline is at the left-hand margin of each panel. The four main nuclei are indicated by thin lines. Dashed lines indicate equivocal nuclear borders. Arrows in panel 18 denote medial (M), dorsal (D), lateral (L), and ventral (V) directions. Scale bar in panel 1 equals 500 µm. Abbreviations: CoN, cochlear nuclei; dLat, dorsal part of the Lat; icp, inferior cerebellar peduncle; IntA, anterior cerebellar nucleus; IntDL, dorsolateral hump; IntDM, dorsomedial crest; IntIC, interstitial cell groups; IntP, posterior interposed nucleus; IV, inferior vestibular nucleus; Lat, lateral cerebellar nucleus; LC, locus coeruleus; LV, lateral vestibular nucleus; Med, medial cerebellar nucleus; MedDL, dorsolateral hump; MV, medial vestibular nucleus; MVm, magnocellular part of MV; MVp, parvocellular part of MV; scp, superior cerebellar peduncle; SV, superior vestibular nucleus; un, uncinate fascicle; vLat, ventral part of the Lat; Y, group Y
