A schematic representation of the distribution of c-Fos-positive cells in the vestibular nuclear complex of one rat following sGVS (see Materials and Methods for details) is shown on the left side of the atlas sections (modified from Paxinos and Watson, 1998). The highest overall density of immunostained neurons was present in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN). These cells were localized almost exclusively in the parvocellular region (MVNpc) and caudal MVN. Immunopositive neurons were present throughout the caudal half of the spinal vestibular nucleus (SpVN), and there was a small dense cluster of immunopositive neurons in the superior vestibular nucleus (SVN). Only labeling in the vestibular nuclei is plotted on this schematic. Approximate Bregma coordinates from the published atlas are indicated to the left. Abbreviations: 6, abducens nucleus; 8vn, vestibular nerve; 8n, vestibulo-cochlear nerve; das, dorsal acoustic stria; DC, dorsal cochlear nucleus; DMSp5, dorsomedial spinal trigeminal nucleus (dorsal D and ventral V subdivisions); DPGi, dorsal paragigantocellular nucleus; ECu, external cuneate nucleus; Gi, nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis; GiA, n. reticularis gigantocellularis, alpha nucleus; icp, inferior cerebellar peduncle; IRt, intermediate reticular nucleus; IS, inferior salivatory nucleus; LVe, lateral vestibular nucleus; lvs, lateral vestibulo-spinal tract; mlf, medial longitudinal fasciculus; MVeMC, medial vestibular nucleus, magnocellular division; MVePC, medial vestibular nucleus, parvocellular division; Pa6, paraabducens nucleus; PCRtA, parvicellular reticular nucleus; pd, predorsal bundle; Pr, prepositus nucleus; py, pyramids; RMg, raphé magnus; RVL, rostral ventrolateral medulla; scp, superior cerebellar peduncle; SGe, supragenual nucleus; sol, solitary tract; Sol, solitary nucleus (ventrolateral VL, rostrolateral RL, and medial M subdivisions); sp5, spinal trigeminal tract (oral O and interstitial I subdivisions); Sp5I, spinal trigeminal nucleus, pars interpolaris; SpVe, spinal (inferior) vestibular nucleus; SuVe, superior vestibular nucleus; ts, tectospinal tract; VCP, ventral cochlear nucleus, posterior division; VeCb, vestibulocerebellar nucleus; Y, Y-group.
