Starter cells are distributed in overlapping but slightly different levels in ventrolateral medulla depending on hypothalamic or spinal cord injection of rabies virus
Drawings of representative coronal sections throughout the medulla oblongata showing the composite location of starter cells from 4 cases with rabies-EGFP injected in hypothalamus (yellow circles) and 4 cases with rabies-EGFP injected in spinal cord (red squares). Approximate location of coronal section in mm caudal to bregma indicated in lower left corner of each section. Scale = 1 mm. Abbreviations: 4V, fourth ventricle; 7, facial motor nucleus; 10, dorsal vagal complex; 12, hypoglossal nucleus; Amb, ambiguus nucleus; Cb, cerebellum; DC, dorsal cochlear nucleus; icp, inferior cerebellar peduncle; IO, inferior olivary nucleus; py, pyramidal tract; sp5, spinal trigeminal tract; Sol, nucleus of the solitary tract; st, solitary tract.
