Abstract

An HRP study of the EVN has been performed. Three groups of somas have been identified: Those located in the proximity of the vestibular nuclei, those sandwiched between the facial genu and the IVth ventricle, and those in the RF, surrounding the abducens nucleus. The number of somas is greater in the contralateral brain-stem side. Axons could be followed through the midline, but could not be traced to a labelled soma. A 3-D reconstruction of the EVN within the brain stem is presented.
