Connections of the vestibular nuclei in the rabbit

This thesis descnbes the afferent, efferent and intrinsic connections of the vestibular nuclei in the Dutch belted rabbit. Different anatomical tracing techniques were used to study these projections. A description of the vestibular complex was added, since recent data for the rabbit are scarce (Chapter 2). A comparison between cytoarchitecture and staining for acetylcholinesterase and cytochromoxidase supported the subdivision of the central magnocellular area of the vestibular complex into a dorsal region comprising the lateral vestibular nucleus of Deiters and the ventrally located magnocel...
