By means of the anterograde axoplasmic transport technique for a mixture of labelled aminoacids (3H-leucine and 3H-proline), ascending and descending systems of the reticular formation fibers in the cat mesencephalon have been studied. Projections from the mesencephalon reticular formation (MRF) ascend to the subthalamus, lateral, dorsal and periventricular hypothalamus, to the periventricular nuclei of the midline and to the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus. The descending pathways project to the grey substance surrounding the aqueduct of cerebrum, locus coeruleus, parabrachial region and reticular formation of the pons and medulla oblongata. The projections to the reticular nucleus of the thalamus, ventral nucleus of the external geniculate body and superior colliculi arise from the dorsal half of the MRF, and projections to the striatum, lateral reticular nucleus of the medulla oblongata--from its ventral half. Most of the structures are reciprocally connected with the MRF.
通过对标记氨基酸混合物（3H-亮氨酸和3H-脯氨酸）采用顺行轴浆运输技术，对猫中脑网状结构纤维的上行和下行系统进行了研究。中脑网状结构（MRF）的投射向上至丘脑下部、外侧、背侧和室周下丘脑、中线的室周核以及丘脑的板内核。下行通路投射至围绕大脑导水管的灰质、蓝斑、臂旁区以及脑桥和延髓的网状结构。向丘脑网状核、外侧膝状体腹侧核和上丘的投射起源于MRF的背侧半部，而向纹状体、延髓外侧网状核的投射则起源于其腹侧半部。大多数结构与MRF相互连接。
