Efferent connections of the centrum medianum and parafascicular nucleus (CM-Pf complex) were investigated by the anterograde autoradiographic method in cat. Projections from CM-Pf complex ascend to the ventral nuclear complex and non-specific thalamic nuclei, preoptic, dorsal, lateral and posterior fields of the hypothalamus and to the subthalamic region. The descending pathways arise only from the caudomedial parts of the CM-Pf complex. They are projected to the pretectum, superior colliculus, pontine reticular formation, locus coeruleus, nucleus parabrachialis and periaqueductal grey of the midbrain and pons, as well as to the raphe nuclei, magnocellular reticular field and the inferior olive of the medulla. Previous studies suggest that the caudomedial CM-Pf part is not projected directly to the cortex and striatum.
采用顺行性放射自显影法对猫的中央中核和束旁核（CM-Pf复合体）的传出联系进行了研究。CM-Pf复合体的投射向上至腹侧核复合体和丘脑非特异性核、视前区、下丘脑背侧、外侧和后区以及丘脑底区。下行通路仅起源于CM-Pf复合体的尾内侧部分。它们投射到中脑和脑桥的顶盖前区、上丘、脑桥网状结构、蓝斑、臂旁核和导水管周围灰质，以及延髓的中缝核、巨细胞网状区和下橄榄核。先前的研究表明，CM-Pf复合体的尾内侧部分不直接投射到皮层和纹状体。
