a Purkinje cell zones in the anterior vermis of the rat cerebellum. b A reconstruction of the anterior lobe of the rat showing the location of retrogradely labeled Purkinje cells from an injection of Deiters’ nucleus. Zebrin-positive bands are shaded. The Purkinje cells of the B zone, and a narrow strip of Purkinje cells in the A zone, located between zebrin-positive band 2 and a are labeled. The Ax zone corresponds to the zebrin band 2 in B. The X zone is located in the zebrin-negative region, immediately lateral to zebrin-positive band 2 (arrow). Abbreviations: cr restiform body, F fastigial nucleus, IA anterior interposed nucleus, LV Deiters’ nucleus, MV medial vestibular nucleus
