To investigate whether neurones of the pontine nuclei (PN) give off collateral projections to the cerebellar paramedian lobule (PML) of both sides, the method of retrograde transport of fluorescent tracers, Fast Blue (FB) and Diamidino Yellow (DY), was employed in the rabbit. Following injections to the various regions of the left (FB) and right (DY) PML cortex, double labelled neurones were found mainly in the dorsolateral nucleus (DL) and peduncular nucleus (PD), and in less number in the paramedian nucleus (PM) and lateral nucleus (L). No double labelling was observed in the ventral nucleus (V).

D011149	Pons	The front part of the hindbrain (RHOMBENCEPHALON) that lies between the MEDULLA and the midbrain (MESENCEPHALON) ventral to the cerebellum. It is composed of two parts, the dorsal and the ventral. The pons serves as a relay station for neural pathways between the CEREBELLUM to the CEREBRUM.
