Cells of cortical and diencephalic fibres descending to the mesencephalic and bulbar reticular formation and to the dorsal column nuclei were identified. According to findings neurons sending fibres to the mesencephalic reticular formation are located in orbitofrontal pole and in area 6 of the pericruciate cortex, mainly ipsilaterally. Neurons which distribute fibres to the bulbar reticular formation are concentrated mainly in area 6 and 4 of the both hemispheres, while those distributing fibres to dorsal column nuclei are arranged in areas 1, 2, 3 and 4, mainly contralaterally. Fibres descending to reticular formation from the limbic cortex, septum, substantia innominata and amygdala were also found. The functional significance of the investigated descending pathways of forebrain is discussed.
已识别出下行至中脑和延髓网状结构以及背柱核的皮质和间脑纤维的细胞。根据研究结果，向中脑网状结构发送纤维的神经元位于眶额极和中央沟周围皮质的6区，主要在同侧。向延髓网状结构分布纤维的神经元主要集中在两侧半球的6区和4区，而向背柱核分布纤维的神经元则排列在1区、2区、3区和4区，主要在对侧。还发现了从边缘皮质、隔区、无名质和杏仁核下行至网状结构的纤维。讨论了所研究的前脑下行通路的功能意义。
