Direct projections from the medial vestibular nucleus to the posterior hypothalamic area was found in the macaque monkey by the anterograde and the retrograde tract-tracing methods. After injection of biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) into the ventrolateral part of the medial vestibular nucleus, anterogradely labeled axon terminals were seen bilaterally in the posterior hypothalamic area. After injection of wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) into the posterior hypothalamic area, retrogradely labeled neuronal cell bodies were observed bilaterally in the ventral part of the medial vestibular nucleus with a contralateral predominance.
通过顺行和逆行示踪法在猕猴中发现了从内侧前庭核到下丘脑后区的直接投射。将生物素化葡聚糖胺（BDA）注入内侧前庭核的腹外侧部分后，在下丘脑后区双侧可见顺行标记的轴突终末。将小麦胚芽凝集素结合辣根过氧化物酶（WGA-HRP）注入下丘脑后区后，在内侧前庭核腹侧双侧观察到逆行标记的神经元细胞体，以对侧为主。
