Abstract
By use of the retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) the projection to the anterior lobe from the pontine nuclei was mapped in detail. In 18 cats 0.1–0.5 gml of a,50% suspension of Sigma VI or Serva HRP was injected in the anterior lobe under visual guidance or stereotactically. The main findings are as follows:

The early stages of absorption of intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase in proximal tubules of mouse kidney were studied with a new ultrastructural cytochemical technique, which gives sharp localization and is sensitive to protein transport.

A modification of Gudden's method was chosen which gives more definite and exact results than those previously mentioned, and, at the same time, avoids for the most part the drawbacks of the original method.

It was found that olivary neurones projecting to a particular area of cerebellar cortex were in some cases situated in neighbouring regions of more than one of the main anatomical subdivisions of the olive.

The findings confirm the conclusion made on the basis of studies of retrograde cell loss in the olive following ablations of the uvula that two small olivary subdivisions, the nucleus β and the dorsomedial cell column project heavily to the Uvula.

The properties of the pontine visual cells suggest a corticopontocerebellar pathway sensitive to a wide range of speeds and directions of movement, but not sensitive to precise form.

Following lesions of different sizes and locations of the superior colliculus the distribution of degenerating fibers in the pontine nuclei was determined in the cat in Nauta and Fink and Heimer impregnated sections.

The present results are in agreement with physiological observations on the cerebrocerebellar relations, but show that the pontine projection from the primary sensorimotor cortex is organized in a more complex manner than hitherto assumed.

Large lesions of the whole visual cortex (areas 17, 18 and 19) and small lesions (in most cases bilateral) of area 17 were made in adult cats, and the ensuing degeneration in the pontine nuclei was studied with the silver impregnation methods.

Stimulation of forelimb and hindlimb areas of the sensorimotor cortex in the cat evokes in the lobus anterior of the cerebellum an early response at latency of 3–3.5 msec due to the mossy fibre input (MF) and a later response to the climbing fibre (CF) input.

Small lesions were made of the cerebral cortical areas 18 and 19 in adult cats, and the ensuing degeneration in the pontine nuclei was studied with the silver impregnation methods of Nauta and of Fink and Heimer to discuss physiological data on the relations between the visual cortex and the cerebellum.

The route via the superior colliculus-dorsolateral nucleus appears to be quantitatively the most important and the functional importance of this convergence and some general features in the organization of the pons are discussed.

The staining of the cerebellar cortex and the ensuing labeling of neurons in the inferior olive were studied in experiments with variations of concentration of HRP, amounts of fluid injected, survival time and age of the animals.

A correlation of the pontine areas projecting onto the paramedian lobule with the terminal areas of pontine afferents shows that the pons may be a relay station in mediating influences from other parts of the cortex (MsI, visual and acoustic), the cerebellar nuclei and the colliculi to the paramedians lobule.

The supplementary motor area (SMA) is interconnected with the precentral motor cortex and receives its main afferents from the somatosensory areas I, II and 5; it is therefore most likely concerned with somatoensori-motor integration.

It was shown that these two inputs converge onto single inferior olive neurons for the climbing fiber system, whereas the nerve and cortical inputs have separate mossy fiber-granule cell pathways, finally converging onto the Purkyně cell.

The retrograde transport of BSA provides a method for the retrograde tracing of central nervous pathways which is completely independent of the HRP method, making it possible to use both substances for studies of collateral innervation, and can be used with any fixative, or no fixative at all.
