Figure 3. Reconstruction of retrograde cell body labelling in the LVN following an injection of dextran amine in the DCN.

Injections were performed on coronal (left) and sagittal (right) brainstem preparations and serial sections of 100 µm were performed. The black area represents the injection site in the DCN and the red dots represent labelled cell bodies including those in the LVN (grey area). LVN: lateral vestibular nucleus; DCN: dorsal cochlear nucleus; VCN: ventral cochlear nucleus; icp: inferior cerebellar peduncle; sp5: spinal trigeminal tract; sp5O: spinal trigeminal nucleus; 8vn: vestibular route of 8^th nerve; SpVe: spinal vestibular nucleus; LR4V: lateral recess 4^th ventricle; Cu: cuneate nucleus.
