Quantitative investigation of the spatial organization of vestibulospinal neurons has been performed on a guinea pig using the horseradish peroxidase retrograde transport method. After unilateral injection in the upper cervical and low thoracic spinal cord the labelled neurons were found unilaterally in the lateral vestibular nucleus and bilaterally in descending and medial vestibular nuclei. Distribution of vestibulospinal neurons within the brainstem has been analyzed. It was revealed that projections of some neurons of medial and descending vestibular nuclei coincided with spinal projections of cortical and rubral descending pathways. Functional significance of the vestibulospinal system in the supraspinal motor control was discussed.
利用辣根过氧化物酶逆行运输法，对豚鼠前庭脊髓神经元的空间组织进行了定量研究。在上颈段和胸下段脊髓进行单侧注射后，标记的神经元单侧位于外侧前庭核，双侧位于前庭降核和内侧前庭核。分析了脑干内前庭脊髓神经元的分布。结果显示，内侧和前庭降核的一些神经元投射与皮质和红核下行通路的脊髓投射相重合。讨论了前庭脊髓系统在脊髓上运动控制中的功能意义。
