The olivonodular projection: a re-examination based on folial cerebellar implants.

In 5 cats implants of crystalline wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex were placed in one or two folia of the nodulus with no contamination of adjacent cerebellar lobules. In the inferior olive only the dorsal cap with the adjacent ventrolateral outgrowth and the caudalmost part of nucleus beta were found to project to the nodulus. Negative findings were consistently made in all other parts of the inferior olive, some of which have previously been described to contribute to the olivonodular projection.
