In 18 cats of different ages the topography of dendrites of the retroambiguus nucleus was established with Golgi impregnation method. The large and medium neurons of the nucleus send their longest dendrites mainly into dorsomedial and ventrolateral directions. The former dendrites enter the nervous tract area such as pyramidal, medial vestibulo-bulbo-spinal, ponto-bulbo-spinal and tecto-bulbo-spinal. The ventrolaterally directed dendrites reach the area in which pass lateral vestibulo-bulbo-spinal tract and fibers of the lateral reticular system. The dendrites always project outside of the center (nucleus). Thus, the term center should comprise not only perikaryons but also the area of dendritic tree which receives most of the afferent fibers. It is suggested to introduce two terms, viz., the "input area" which is formed by dendritic tree of the neurons belonging to the nucleus in the section and the "input space" as the dendritic tree considered in the three dimensions.
采用高尔基染色法，在18只不同年龄的猫中确定了疑后核树突的分布情况。该核的大、中型神经元将其最长的树突主要伸向背内侧和腹外侧方向。前者的树突进入锥体、内侧前庭-延髓-脊髓、脑桥-延髓-脊髓和顶盖-延髓-脊髓等神经束区域。腹外侧方向的树突到达外侧前庭-延髓-脊髓束和外侧网状系统纤维通过的区域。树突总是伸向中心（核）之外。因此，“中心”一词不仅应包括核周体，还应包括接受大部分传入纤维的树突区域。建议引入两个术语，即“输入区”，它由切片中属于该核的神经元的树突形成，以及“输入空间”，作为三维空间中考虑的树突。
