Wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (WGA-HRP) was microiontophoretically injected into the vestibular nuclear complex of the rat. Retrogradely labeled neurons were found in ipsilateral spinal ganglia C2-C3 only if the injection site was in the caudal part of the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN). Injections into rostral parts of the MVN, the superior, lateral and descending vestibular nuclei (SVN, LVN, DVN), the nucleus of the solitary tract (STN) and the reticular formation did not result in spinal ganglion labeling. Thus, the caudal part of the MVN appears to be the main vestibular termination site for rostral cervical primary afferents.
将小麦胚芽凝集素-辣根过氧化物酶复合物（WGA-HRP）微量离子导入大鼠的前庭神经核复合体。仅当前庭内侧核（MVN）尾侧部分注射时，才在同侧C2-C3脊髓神经节中发现逆行标记的神经元。向前庭内侧核头侧部分、前庭上核、外侧核和降核（SVN、LVN、DVN）、孤束核（STN）和网状结构注射不会导致脊髓神经节标记。因此，前庭内侧核尾侧部分似乎是颈髓上段初级传入神经的主要前庭终末部位。
