The crossed cerebello-olivary projection in the cat was studied by means of retrograde transport of HRP. The cerebello-olivary connection is organized according to a zonal pattern similar to that of the olivocerebellar projection. However, some labelled neurons are in addition found in cerebellar nuclear areas adjacent to a nuclear zone sending its fibres to the corresponding olivary region. This observation indicates that there is a certain degree of overlapping between the different nuclear zones. The cerebello-olivary fibres from the fastigial nucleus appear to be more widely distributed than those from the other cerebellar nuclei. Nuclear neurons of all sizes project to the inferior olive, but the majority of the cells are medium sized. The findings are discussed and related to previous studies on the cerebello-olivary connection.
采用辣根过氧化物酶逆行运输法对猫的交叉小脑橄榄体投射进行了研究。小脑橄榄体连接是按照类似于橄榄小脑投射的分区模式组织的。然而，在与将纤维发送至相应橄榄体区域的核区相邻的小脑核区域中，还发现了一些标记神经元。这一观察结果表明，不同核区之间存在一定程度的重叠。顶核发出的小脑橄榄体纤维似乎比其他小脑核发出的纤维分布更广。各种大小的核神经元都投射到下橄榄核，但大多数细胞是中等大小的。对这些发现进行了讨论，并与先前关于小脑橄榄体连接的研究相关联。
