[The vestibular nuclei of the guinea pig: their structural and topical organization]
Abstract
Topographical and cytoarchitectonical organization of the vestibular nuclear complex of guinea pig has been studied. Four vestibular nuclei: superior, lateral, medial, inferior as well as cellular groups (I, F, Y, X, Z) associated with the vestibular nuclei were described on the basis of neutral red stained preparations. The precise delimitation and the stereotaxic coordinates of the vestibular nuclei were performed by means of the analysis of 50 microns thick frontal serial slices treated by glycerine.
