Fig. 4. Segmental localization and reconstruction of reticulospinal neurons with
contralateral axons adjacent to the M-axon in the mlfd. (Ai) Whole
mount of the hindbrain, with Lucifer Yellow filled M-axons (upper arrows) and
one reticulospinal neuron located in r6 (lower arrow). The M-cell somata are
not filled. Higher magnification of the same r6 reticulospinal neuron obtained
after sectioning the hindbrain (Aii) and a camera lucida reconstruction of
this neuron (Aiii). (Bi,Bii) reconstruction of two other r6 neurons from
separate fish. In Aii-Aiii and Bi-Bii, the crossing axons of the
reticulospinal neurons are labeled with asterisks, the midline is to the right
and scale bars are 50 µm.
