Zusammenfassung
Der Ursprung der labyrinthären Efferenz wurde beim amerikanischen Laubfrosch (Hyla cinerea) mit Hilfe von Meerrettich-Peroxidase, die an den Nervus octavus appliziert wurde, identifiziert. Markierte Zellen ließen sich lediglich im Nucleus reticularis medius ipsilateral zur Injektion nachweisen. Die primären Kerne des Nervus octavus waren durch anterograden Transport von Merrettich-Peroxidase markiert, enthielten jedoch keine Ursprungszellen.
Summary
The origin of centrifugal fibers to the labyrinth was determined by application of horseradish peroxidase to the severed octavus nerve of the green tree frog (Hyla cinerea). Labeled neurons were found exclusively in the nucleus reticularis medius of the reticular formation ipsilateral to the injection site. In particular, no retrogradely labeled neurons were found in the octavus nuclei.
