Fig. 6.

Häggqvist-stained section through Deiters’ nucleus of the cat. Purkinje cell axons pass through the brachium conjunctivum (Klimoff’s “Wurzelförmige Bündel”) to enter dorsal Deiters’ nucleus. Dichromate fixation makes it possible to distinguish the coarse myelinated fibers of the direct fastigiobulbar tract and the lateral vestibulospinal tract (inset). Abbreviations: bc brachium conjunctivum, Dd dorsal Deiters’ nucleus, dfb direct fastigiobulbar tract, dV spinal root of the trigeminal nerve, Dv ventral Deiters’ nucleus, lvst lateral vestibulospinal tract, sad dorsal acoustic striae
