The lateral reticular nucleus of the medulla oblongata (LRN) in the rat was observed after injecting horseradish peroxidase (HRP) bilaterally into the anterior lobe of the cerebellum; the inferior cerebellar peduncle had been cut unilaterally prior to the HRP injections. HRP-labeled neurons were seen bilaterally in the LRN; 89% in the contralateral, and 11% in the side ipsilateral to the pedunculotomy. The labeled neurons in the LRN ipsilateral to the pedunculotomy were assumed to send their axons to the anterior lobe of the cerebellum via the controlateral inferior cerebellar peduncle. Of these neurons, 60, 11 and 29% were distributed in the magnocellular, subtrigeminal and parvicellular divisions of the LRN, respectively.

D012154 Reticular Formation A region extending from the PONS & MEDULLA OBLONGATA through the MESENCEPHALON, characterized by a diversity of neurons of various sizes and shapes, arranged in different aggregations and enmeshed in a complicated fiber network. Formation, Reticular,Formations, Reticular,Reticular Formations
D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D006735 Horseradish Peroxidase An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
