In the rats which were injected with Fluoro-Gold into the cochlear nucleus and simultaneously with tetramethylrhodamine-dextran amine into the ventrobasal thalamus, a number of neurons in the gracile and the cuneate nuclei of the dorsal column nucleus (DCN) and in the interpolar and caudal subnuclei of the spinal trigeminal nucleus (STN) were double-labeled retrogradely with the both tracers. The results indicated the existence of single DCN/STN-neurons which provided axons to the cochlear nucleus, mainly ipsilaterally, and to the contralateral ventrobasal thalamus.
在向耳蜗核注射荧光金并同时向腹侧基底丘脑注射四甲基罗丹明-葡聚糖胺的大鼠中，背柱核（DCN）的薄束核和楔束核以及三叉神经脊束核（STN）的极间亚核和尾侧亚核中的许多神经元被这两种示踪剂逆行双标记。结果表明存在单一的DCN/STN神经元，其轴突主要同侧地投射到耳蜗核，并投射到对侧腹侧基底丘脑。
