The white matter of the rabbit flocculus is subdivided into five compartments by narrow sheets of densely staining acetylcholinesterase-positive fibers. The most lateral compartment is continuous with the C2 compartment of the paraflocculus and contains the posterior interposed nucleus. The other four compartments are numbered from lateral to medial as floccular compartments 1, 2, 3, and 4 (FC1-4). FC1-3 continue across the posterolateral fissure into the adjacent folium (folium p) of the ventral paraflocculus. FC4 is present only in the rostral flocculus. In the caudal flocculus FC1 and FC3 abut dorsal to FC2. Fibers of FC1-4 can be traced into the lateral cerebellar nucleus and the floccular peduncle. The presence of acetylcholinesterase in the deep stratum of the molecular layer of the flocculus and ventral paraflocculus distinguishes them from the dorsal paraflocculus. The topographical relations to the flocculus and the floccular peduncle with group y and the cerebellar nuclei are discussed.
兔绒球的白质被密集染色的乙酰胆碱酯酶阳性纤维薄片细分为五个区室。最外侧的区室与旁绒球的C2区室相连，包含后间位核。其他四个区室从外侧到内侧依次编号为绒球区室1、2、3和4（FC1 - 4）。FC1 - 3穿过后外侧裂延续至腹侧旁绒球的相邻小叶（小叶p）。FC4仅存在于绒球的嘴侧部分。在绒球的尾侧部分，FC1和FC3邻接于FC2的背侧。FC1 - 4的纤维可追踪至外侧小脑核和绒球脚。绒球和腹侧旁绒球分子层深层中乙酰胆碱酯酶的存在将它们与背侧旁绒球区分开来。文中讨论了绒球和绒球脚与Y组以及小脑核的拓扑关系。
