Direct and indirect preoculomotor pathways of the brainstem: An autoradiographic study of the pontine reticular formation in the cat

The efferent connections of the paramedian pontine reticular formation have been studied in the cat in autoradiographic experiments designed to analyze direct and indirect preoculomotor pathways. Injections of tritium‐labelled amino acids were placed (1) near the border between the oral and caudal subdivisions of the nucleus pontis centralis, (2) in more rostral and dorsal parts of the pontine tegmentum, (3) at the pontomesencephalic border, and (4) at the pontomedullary border.
