Cerebellar afferents from the vestibular and perihypoglossal nuclei have been studied in 25 sheep. Following injections of HRP in all cerebellar lobules, with the exceptions of the ventral part of anterior lobe, the ventral paraflocculus and the flocculus, bilateral cerebellar projections from these nuclei with ipsilateral preponderance are evidenced. Experiments in sheep show a wider field of origin and termination of secondary vestibulocerebellar fibers than reported earlier. For the descending and medial vestibular nuclei a topographical organization in their vestibulocerebellar projections is evidenced. Fibers to lobule X mainly originate from their dorsal parts, those to lobule IX from their ventral portion, and fibers to lobule VIII from their caudal pole and the lateral part of the descending nucleus. Cell group x projects to all the cerebellar lobules studied except crus. I. Labeled cells in the lateral vestibular nucleus are few. The superior vestibular nucleus projects mainly to lobule X. Vestibular cells projecting to the hemisphere are located mainly in the cell group x and in the central parts of the descending and medial vestibular nuclei. The interstitial nucleus of the vestibular nerve, the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi and the nucleus intercalatus project to all lobules.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007002 Hypoglossal Nerve The 12th cranial nerve. The hypoglossal nerve originates in the hypoglossal nucleus of the medulla and supplies motor innervation to all of the muscles of the tongue except the palatoglossus (which is supplied by the vagus). This nerve also contains proprioceptive afferents from the tongue muscles.

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.
