Abstract

Female Wistar rats were injected in the tongue with a small volume of 203Hg and were killed 2 weeks later. The lower brain stem with the hypoglossal nuclei was removed and sectioned in a cryostat. Autoradiography of freeze-dried sections showed labeling of both hypoglossal nuclei. The results are regarded as strong evidence of retrograde axonal transport of mercury in the hypoglossal nerve.
