The neurons of the hypoglossal nucleus were examined in Golgi preparations of adult macaque and squirrel monkeys. Two distinct types of neurons were found. The first type was a large multipolar cell which was typical of the majority of the neurons of the nucleus. Its soma ranged in size from 18 to 50 micrometers and numerous dendrites emerged from it. The dendritic spread of these neurons was within the ipsilateral nucleus, across the midline into the contralateral hypoglossal nucleus, or out into the adjacent reticular formation. The second type of neuron was a small cell. The soma of this neuron was oval in shape, measured less than 20 micrometers in its largest diameter, and gave off only two or three dendrites which remained within the nucleus.
在成年猕猴和松鼠猴的高尔基染色标本中检查舌下神经核的神经元。发现了两种不同类型的神经元。第一种是大型多极细胞，是该核大多数神经元的典型类型。其胞体大小在18至50微米之间，从中伸出许多树突。这些神经元的树突分布在同侧核内，穿过中线进入对侧舌下神经核，或延伸至相邻的网状结构。第二种神经元是小细胞。这种神经元的胞体呈椭圆形，最大直径小于20微米，仅发出两三个仍在核内的树突。
