By means of retrograde axonal transport of the wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex, a projection from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus to the lateral reticular nucleus was demonstrated in the cat. Following small tracer ejections in the main part of the lateral reticular nucleus, a significant number of labelled neurons were found bilaterally throughout the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. Most of the labelled cells were located on the ipsilateral side. The projecting neurons are spindle-shaped to round with a maximum diameter of the cell body between 15 and 30 microns. The findings are discussed in relation to other Edinger-Westphal efferent projections, and some comments are made concerning the cytoarchitecture and delineation of the feline Edinger-Westphal nucleus.
通过小麦胚凝集素-辣根过氧化物酶复合物的逆行轴突运输，在猫身上证实了动眼神经核背核向外侧网状核的投射。在外侧网状核主要部分进行微量示踪剂注射后，在双侧动眼神经核背核中发现了大量标记神经元。大多数标记细胞位于同侧。投射神经元呈纺锤形至圆形，细胞体最大直径在15至30微米之间。结合动眼神经核背核的其他传出投射对这些发现进行了讨论，并对猫动眼神经核背核的细胞结构和边界作了一些评论。
