The Localization of Vestibular Efferent Neurons in the Kitten with Horseradish Peroxidase

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The location of efferent vestibular neurons in the brainstem of newborn kittens was determined by means of horseradish peroxidase used as a tracer of retrograde protein transport. Two to three milligrams of horseradish peroxidase were injected into the vestibule of 8 kittens. After survival for 24 hours, the animals were fixed by perfusion and the brainstems sectioned. Stains for peroxidase demonstrated the labelled neurons lateral to the abducens nucleus bilaterally.
