In the rats which were injected with Fluoro-Gold into the cochlear nucleus and simultaneously with tetramethylrhodamine-dextran amine into the ventrobasal thalamus, a number of neurons in the gracile and the cuneate nuclei of the dorsal column nucleus (DCN) and in the interpolar and caudal subnuclei of the spinal trigeminal nucleus (STN) were double-labeled retrogradely with the both tracers. The results indicated the existence of single DCN/STN-neurons which provided axons to the cochlear nucleus, mainly ipsilaterally, and to the contralateral ventrobasal thalamus.

D005456	Fluorescent Dyes	Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.

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.
