A projection from the periaqueductal grey to the lateral reticular nucleus in the cat

Abstract

A projection from the periaqueductal grey (PAG) to the lateral reticular nucleus (NRL) in the cat was demonstrated by means of retrograde transport of the wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex. The connection has its main origin ipsilaterally in the ventral part of the caudal PAG, but scanty projections from other parts of the PAG were also found. The neurons projecting to the NRL are of varying shapes and sizes, but most cells have a maximum diameter of less than 20 micron. The findings are discussed in relation to the other afferent and efferent connections of the NRL.
