GENERAL STATEMENT
 
All of the 113 figures are of adult or late larval Amblystoma tigrinum, except
figures 86B, 86C, 111, 112, and 113 of Necturus and figure 107 of Rana pipiens.
The indicated magnifications of the drawings show wide diversity in actual sizes
of the specimens due to two things: in the first place, the fresh specimens vary greatly
in size, and, in the second place, shrinkage during preparation may amount to as
much as one-fourth of the original linear dimensions. Figures 2-85 are original
drawings, and figures 1 and 86-113 are selected from previous publications, with
minor alterations in some of them.
 
 
The internal structure of the brain of Necturus has been illustrated by sections
drawn at close intervals in the three conventional planes ('30, '336) and by many
drawings of detail in several other publications. The general plan of the brain of
Amblystoma is so similar to that of Necturus that comparisons are readily made.
The sections of Amblystoma have been under investigation for nearly forty years,
and the exigencies of the study and of publication have required concentration
upon particular topics rather than description of the brain as a whole, and no comprehensive atlas of sections has been prepared. It is the aim of this book to supply
a general view, but, unfortunately, the figures necessary to illustrate it are scattered
in many publications. Some figures of especial value for general orientation are included here, and references are given to others in the literature.
 
 
Three series of Weigert sections of adult A. tigrinum, prepared by the late
Dr. P. S. McKibben in 1910, were selected as standards of reference. These are his
numbers IIC, transverse. IC, horizontal, and C, sagittal. All were fixed in a formalinbichromate mixture, imbedded in paraffin, cut serially at 12 n, and stained on the
slides. These show minimum distortion of form, excellent histological preservation,
and brilliant stain of myelinated fibers, with decolorization arrested at a stage
which leaves all cell bodies clearly stained. The transverse series was chosen as the
type specimen, and this has been quite fully illustrated, though these drawings
were published at different times. To assist the reader who may wish to assemble
an atlas of this specimen, a list of all available figures of it was published ('35a,
p. 241), with serial numbers of the sections pictured, and to this list the following
numbers may now be added:

570. . . . Nucleus posterior tecti. '36, fig. 15
 
595 ... . Cerebellum. Figure 91

975 .... Commissura infima. Figure 87
 
990 .... Nuclei of dorsal funiculi. '446, fig. 6
 
Figure 2C of this work is the median section of the middle part of the brain stem,
reconstructed from this series of sections; and figures 1-4 of the paper of 1935 are
similar reconstructions, showing chorioid plexuses and blood vessels.
 
 
 
A paper model of this transverse series was prepared, X 75, each section being
drawn on cardboard seventy-five times the thickness of the section and then cut
out along external and ventricular surfaces. These sheets, when properly stacked,
show the external and ventricular configuration, and upon them details of internal
structure were drawn in colored inks. The relevant data about this specimen were
published ('35a) in connection with the preparation of the diagram of the median
section, shown here as figure 2C (cf. fig. IB). Scales accompanying the diagram give
the section numbers, so that any section figured can be accurately located on the
projection. This outline has been used as the basis for many diagrams of internal
structure in this work and previous papers. Figures 2A and '2B are similar diagrams, made from the series of horizontal sections illustrated in figures 25-36. A
wax model was made from the sagittal Weigert series C (figs. lA and 85).
 
 
Two series of transverse sections of the adult forebrain based mainly on Golgi
sections were published in 1927; six of these are here reproduced as figures 95-100.
Six sagittal sections of the middle part of the adult brain stem by Rogers' reduced
silver method were published in 1936, figures 17-22; and three of these are shown
here as figures 102, 103, and 104. Seven pictures of the chiasma region from the
sagittal Weigert series C are in figure 11 of 1941. A series of twelve horizontal
Cajal sections of the adult follows in this book (figs. 25-36). Serial sections of larvae
of 38 mm., prepared by Cajal's reduced silver method, have been illustrated (horizontal, '39b, figs. 2-20; transverse, '14a, figs. 4-14, and '39a, figs. 2-14). Somedetails
of the development of the external form of the brain and the internal structures are
reported in the papers of 1937-41. For meninges and blood vessels see pages 24-27,
my papers ('34c^ and '35), Roofe ('35), and Dempster ('30).
 
 
FIGURES AND DESCRIPTIONS
 
Figure lA, B, and C'.^Lateral and median views of the brain of adult A. tigrinum, reproduced from '24a, figures 1, 2, and 3.
 
 
A. — Drawn from a wax model made from sagittal Weigert sections, no. C, collected at
Chicago, 111. X 15. The lateral wall of the cerebral hemisphere has been cut away to open
the lateral ventricle; compare figure 85 drawn from the same model.
 
 
B. — Median section of a specimen from Colorado. X 10. The dissection was prepared
by Dr. P. S. McKibben and drawn by Katharine Hill. Brains of several specimens were exposed, fixed in situ in formalin-Zenker, then removed from the head, washed in water, and
hardened in graded alcohols before being cut in the mid-sagittal plane. The shrinkage in
alcohol accentuates the ventricular sculpturing.
 
 
C. — Key drawing to accompany figure IB.
 
 
Figure 2 A, B, and C. — Three drawings of the median section of the brain stem of the adult
prepared by graphic reconstruction from sections.
 
 
A. — This median section is reconstructed from the series of horizontal Cajal sections ilhistrated in figures 25-36. X 23. Compare figure 2C made from a specimen differently prepared.
 
 
The shape of the two specimens is somewhat different, owing chiefly to slight dorsoventral
compression of the midbrain and other distortions of the Cajal specimen. Despite these defects,
the correspondence of the two median sections is fairly close. The figures of the two specimens
are drawn on the same plan, with the important exception that in the drawing of 2C tlie ventricular sulci are projected upon the median plane, while in 2A and B the outhiies of the
chief cellular areas are thus projected. In general, the sulci mark tlie boundaries of these areas,
but this correspondence is not exact, and there is great individual variation in both these
features. In the posterior part of the tegmentum isthmi a vertical dotted line marks, somewhat
arbitrarily, tlie boundary between its central nucleus and a posterior sector composed of larger
cells and transitional to the large-celled component of the trigeminal tegmentum.
 
 
Two drawings based on this reconstruction are shown, with emphasis on different features.
In figure 2A the larger subdivisions of this part of the brain stem are demarcated so as to assist
 
 
 
ILLUSTRATIONS
 
 
 
the reader in comparing the amphibian topography with the conventional mammalian analysis. Median structures, that is, the cut surfaces of the section, are outlined with full lines,
paramedian structures in dotted lines (compare the gross section, fig. IB; Necturus, '17, fig.
63; and McKibben, '11, fig. 5). Heavy broken lines mark the boundaries of the larger divisions
as here defined, and dot-and-dash lines mark the subdivisions of the diencephalon.
 
 
B. — The same outline, bearing names of some of the smaller subdivisions. The scales at
right and left indicate the approximate planes of the sections shown in figures 25-36. These
levels are not exact, for unequal shrinkage during preparation produced some irregularities
which have been smoothed in the diagram. The scales at top and bottom show section numbers of the type specimen, no. IIC, from which figure 2C was drawn, as indicated on that
figure. Here again the correspondence is not exact, though sufficiently close to facilitate orientation of the published transverse sections with reference to the two median sections.
 
 
C- — This is the median section of the type specimen, IIC (p. 321), copied from 1935a,
figure 1, with some changes in the lettering. X 30.
 
 
Figure 3. — Outline drawing of the dorsal surface of the adult brain. X 10. The paraphysis
and chorioid plexus of the fourth ventricle have been removed. The courses of the .sensory
fibers of the trigeminal and dorsal spinal nerve roots and of the spino-bulbar, spino-cerebellar,
and spinal lemniscus secondary tracts are diagrammatically indicated. The general bulbar
lemniscus {Im. of the other figures) arises from the entire sensory zone of the medulla oblongata
and ascends approximately parallel with the spinal lemniscus.
 
 
Figures 4 and 5. — Two diagrams illustrating the extent of the sensory and motor zones as
seen in horizontal sections of the adult brain (chap. v). X 15. The outlines are from a series
of Cajal sections cut in a slightly different plane from those illustrated in figures 25-36, with
the anterior end more dorsal.
 
 
Fig. 4. — This passes through the hippocampal commissure and shows on the left side the
extent of the motor zone, as here defined, by oblique hatching and the sensory zone in the
olfactory area by hatching in the reverse direction. The plane of section is about the same as
that of figures 28 anteriorly and 27 posteriorly. It passes below the tuberculum posterius at the
cerebral flexure, above which the motor zone of the peduncle and isthmus is continuous between the medulla oblongata and the ventral thalanms (fig. 30).
 
 
Fig. 5. — This shows the extent of the sensory zone at a more dorsal level, the plane being
about that of figures 35 anteriorly and 34 posteriorly. The undifferentiated anterior olfactory
nucleus encircles the base of the olfactory bulb, and through it passes the very large fasciculus
postolfactorius (cf. fig. 105), from wliich tlie various olfactory tracts of the liemisphere are
distributed (p. 55; '27, p. 283).
 
 
Figure 6. — Selected examples of long pathways of conduction leading toward the skeletal
musculature of the trunk and limbs, seen as projected upon the lateral aspect of the brain.
X 10. The only afferent systems drawn are the olfactory and optic, and from these receptive
fields only a few lines of descending conduction are indicated as typical representatives of
through fore-and-aft transmission.
 
 
Figure 7. — Diagram of the central courses of the sensory components of cranial nerves
V to X of larval Amblystoma seen as projected upon the lateral surface of the medulla oblongata. X 36. The drawing is based on figure 3 of 1914. The general cutaneous component
is drawn in dashed lines, the vestibular in thick unbroken lines, the visceral-gustatory in
dotted lines, the three lateral-line VII roots in thick dash lines, the two lateral-line X roots
in dot-and-dash lines, and correlation tracts a and b in thin continuous lines. Some fibers of
the ascending roots of the general cutaneous and vestibular systems decussate in the cerebellum, and some visceral root fibers of the f. solitarius decussate in the commissura infima at
the commissural nucleus of Cajal.
 
 
Figure S.— Diagram of the central connections of the visceral-gustatory system seen as
projected upon the lateral surface of the adult brain. X 10. A probable direct connection
from the superior visceral-gustatory nucleus (nuc.i'is.ti.) to the hypothalamus is indicated by
the dotted line.
 
 
Figure 9. — Diagrammatic transverse section of the larval medulla oblongata near the level
of the IX nerve roots, showing four types of neurons of the sensory zone. X 100. Drawn
from preparations illustrated in 1914. Figure 89 shows a section of the adult brain in about the same plane. The arrangement of the fascicles of nerve root fibers is indicated. Neuron 1
is in synaptic relation with all components of these cranial nerves. Neuron 2 makes its chief
connection with visceral-gustatory fibers of the f. solitarius and less intimate connection with
vestibular and trigeminal fibers. Neuron 3 connects only with root fibers of the trigeminus.
Neuron 4 connects with the trigeminus and also with the reticular formation and motor zone.
Similar elements have been seen to connect also with fascicles of the VIII and other nerve
roots. Axons of all these types decussate in the ventral commissure and may ascend in the
general bulbar lemniscus. The axon of neuron 2 divides, one branch ascending in the secondary
visceral tract {tr.r.a.) of the same side and the other crossing to the opposite side. Some similar
neurons connect only with the f. solitarius and have unbranched axons entering tr.r.a. only.
Numberless permutations of the various types of connection here shown have been observed.
 
 
 
 
 
Figure 10. — Diagram of the chief aflFerent connections of the body of the cerebellum and
of the brachium conjunctivum seen as projected on the median section of the brain (chaps.
iv and xii). X 18. The more lateral vestibular connections are not drawn. The outline is that
of figure 2C, and dotted lines mark ventricular sulci and the boundaries of the chief subdivisions of the brain wall.

components are arranged in the fore-and-aft order in which they ascend, as also are the decussations in the habenular commissure (compare the horizontal sections, figs. 25-36).
Efferent fibers from the habenida enter three tracts (fr./iab.t.,f.refr., and tr.hab.th.). The afferent
fibers are numbered as in the analysis of the stria medullaris in chapter xviii:
 
1. Tr. olfacto-habenularis medialis
 
2. Tr. olfacto-habenularis lateralis
 
3. Tr. olfacto-habenularis anterior, ventral division
 
4. Tr. olfacto-habenularis anterior, dorsal division

8. Tr. cortico-habenularis medialis
 
9. Tr. cortico-thalamicus medialis
 
10. Tr. olfacto-thalamicus
 
11. Tr. thalamo-habenularis
 
12. Tr. tecto-habenularis
 
Not shown in this figure is the tr. pretecto-habenularis and a probable tr. strio-habenularis.
 
 
Figure 21. — Diagram of the chief afferent connections of the tegmentum isthmi (p. 179).
Most of the tracts here indicated end in both the isthniic and the trigeminal tegmentum.
For the connections of the interpeduncular nucleus and its neuropil see chapter xiv.
 
 
Figure 22. — Diagram of the most direct connections between the retina and the peduncle.
Optic tracts and efferent paths from the peduncle are drawn in full lines, internuncial connections in broken lines, and thick myelinated fibers in heavier lines (chap. xvi).
 
 
 
Figure 23.- — The chief nonvisual afferent connections of the ventrolateral peduncular
neuropil (chap, iii) seen as projected upon the median section. Most of these fibers are unmyelinated, of thin or medium size. The visceral-gustatory system has more fibers than any
of the others.
 
 
Figure 2!^. — Diagrammatic thick transverse section through the middle of the optic tectum
and the oculomotor nucleus, illustrating typical connections between the tectum and the cerebral peduncle. The gray is outlined by a broken line, and the ventral border of the tectum
by dotted lines. On the right side a typical neuron of the peduncle is drawn, with axon entering
the ventral tegmental fascicles (f.r.t.). Four outlying cell bodies are seen at the border of the
ventrolateral peduncular neuropil (a.rl.p.). On the left side is a neuron of the oculomotor
nucleus, the dendrites of which connect with terminals of the basal optic tract in the ventrolateral neuropil. Compare figure 93.
 
 
Figures 25 to J6.— These semidiagrammatic drawings are made from sections selected from
a horizontal series of the adult brain prepared by P. S. McKibben, Cajal's reduced silver method after fixation in alcohol. X 35. For approximiite planes of section see figure 2B. The sections
are exactly horizontal right and left.
 
 
 
In this specimen the cell bodies are not blackened, and no dendrites are visible. All nuclei
of cells are stained, and the gray pattern is clearly shown. There is scanty impregnation of
the neuropil. In the cerebral hemispheres only the thickest axons are impregnated; elsewhere
the thick and medium fibers are brilliantly differentiated. In some places where the boundaries
of fascicles and tracts are obscure, interpretation has been aided by comparison with other
specimens by methods of Cajal, Rogers, Golgi, and Weigert.
 
 
Horizontal sections are not so favorable for analysis of the tegmental fascicles (chap, xx)
as are those cut in transverse and sagittal planes, and it is difficult to follow individual bundles
as they recurve around the tuberculum posterius in the peduncle and tegmentum; but, by
comparison with sections prepared by other methods and cut in various planes, the courses
of most of the tracts and of the tegmental fascicles of groups (1) to (10) can be followed. The
limits of the numbered groups of fascicles are not always clear, but their identification by number on the drawings is believed to be substantially correct.
 
 
 
 
Fig. 25. — Through the ventral part of the anterior commissure ridge and the dorsal border
of the chiasma ridge. Only a few of the thicker fibers of the medial forebrain bundle are impregnated. These thread their way through the decussating fascicles of the chiasma ridge and
spread out in the ventral part of the hypothalamus. The dense neuropil of these regions is not
impregnated. All the optic fibers decussate ventrally of this level, except the most dorsal fibers
of the axial tract (tr.op.ax.). The lightly stippled area in the postoptic commissure, marked
tr.th.h.d.c, contains thin fibers from the dorsal thalamus, which decussate more ventrally
(fig. 2C, tr.th.h.d.c). Farther dorsally (fig. 26) these fibers, after crossing, separate into fascicles
A and B (p. 299).
 
 
Fig. 26. — Ten sections more dorsally, the section passes through the dorsal fascicles of the
medial forebrain bundle, tr. olfacto-peduncularis, and above the chiasma ridge. The mixed
system of thalamo-hypothalamic and tegmental fibers (fig. 25, tr.th.h.d.c.) has separated into
superficial (.4) and deep {B) tracts for the tegmentum, as described on page 299. The course
of the superficial tract (A) can be followed in figures 27-34; most of the deeper fibers (B)
join the dorsal tegmental fascicles of group (8).
 
 
Fig. 27.— This cuts the decussation of the dorsal fascicles of the lateral forebrain bundle in
the anterior commissure and the motor roots and nucleus of the V cranial nerve. The fibers
descending from the dorsal thalamus to the postoptic commissure {tr.th.h.d.c.) lie deep in the alba. The same fibers after decussation appear in the superficial tract, A, and in the deeper
fascicles of group (8). Rostrally of the V roots, most of the thick fibers of the ventral commissure belong to tr. tegmento-bulbaris cruciatus. Among these the f. longitudinalis medialis
is assembling from fascicles of groups (4), (5), and (6) (p. 281). Medially and dorsally of these
are finer fibers of the dorsal division of tr. interpedunculo-bulbaris (tr.inp.b.d.).
 
 
Fig. 28. — Through the hippocampal commissure and the middle of the sensory root of the
V nerve. The section cuts the ramus communicans posterior of "the arterial system (r.c.p.)
and the decussation of the posterior division of tr. tecto-bulbaris cruciatus {tr.t.h.c.2.), also
the most ventral fibers of the commissure of the tuberculum posterius.
 
 
Fig. 29.— This passes immediately below the cerebral flexure at the tuberculum posterius
and the ventral border of the peduncle. Mingled with the crossing fibers of tr.f.b.c.2. are the
most ventral crossing fibers (unmarked) of the anterior division of tr. tecto-bulbaris cruciatus.
The central nucleus of the isthmus (nuc.i.s'.c.) is here well defined, and laterally of it are terminals of the dorsal tegmental fascicles of groups (7) to (10).
 
 
Fig. 30. — This section cuts the ventral border of the junction of the peduncle with the isthmus, a locus marked by the superficial origin of the III nerve. The anterior division of tr.
tecto-bulbaris cruciatus (tr.t.b.c.l.) is decussating within the ventral tegmental fascicles of
group (1) (p. 277). More posteriorly, the section cuts the dorsal border of the sensory V root
and the visceral sensory roots of the VII and IX nerves, showing the entire prevagal part of
the f. solitarius (pp. 148, 166 and figs. 37, 38).
 
 
Fig. 31. — Through the nucleus of the III nerve and the most dorsal component of the
commissure of the tuberculum posterius containing decussating fibers of tr. tecto-b'jlbaris
cruciatus 1. Farther forward the section cuts the ventral thalamus at its widest part and passes through the ventral border of the eniinentia thalami. Large numbers of thick fibers pass
from the ventral thalamus to the peduncle and isthniic tegmentum {tr.th.teg.r.), both superficially and deeper in the alba. Similar fibers (not drawn) arise from the large cells of the
peduncle, which comprise a primordium of the mammalian interstitial nucleus of the f. longitudinalis niedialis. Many of the thalamic and most of the pedimcular fibers enter ventral
tegmental fascicles of group (5) (see p. 281). Tiiis section cuts tegmental fascicles of group (3)
at the dorsal convexity of their course as they recurve around the tuberculum posterius.
 
 
Fig. 32. — Section passing just above the interventricular foramen and through the middle
of the eminentia thalami. Accompanying fibers of the hippocampal commissure are those of
tr. cortico-habenularis medialis for the stria medullaris and tr. cortico-thalamicus niedialis
(primordium of the column of the fornix). Thick fibers stream backward from the ventral
thalamus in tr. thalamo-tegmentalis rectus, some superficially, some at middle depth, and
some at the inner border of the alba, the latter entering dorsal tegmental fascicles of group (8).
Similar fibers arise from the larger cells of the peduncle, but to simplify the pictures these have
not been drawn in figures 31 and 32. Most of them enter tegmental fascicles of group (5), and
some of these continue spinalward in f. longitudinalis medialis. The more ventral large cells of
the peduncle (fig. 31) correspond with the interstitial nucleus (Cajal) of f. longitudinalis medialis, the more dorsal of these cells (fig. 32) to the nucleus of Darkschewitsch (p. 217 and figs.
6, 18). For further details see the analysis of the tegmental fascicles in chapter xx and references
there given.
 
 
At the level of figure 32, tegmental fascicles of groups (4), (5), and (10) are cut at the dorsal
convexity of their courses through the peduncle, and here they are insinuated among the
fibers of the anterior and posterior divisions of tr. tecto-bulbaris cruciatus, descending from
the tectum toward their decussations. Farther back in the posterior isthmic neuropil the bulbar
and spinal lemniscus systems {Im. and Im.sp.) are turning upward and forward to ascend in
the dorsal tegmentum (figs. 33, 34). The wide auricle contains terminals of vestibular and
lateral-line root fibers, other bulbar connections, and nucleus cerebelli.
 
 
Fig. 33. — This passes through the floor of the stem-hemisphere fissure, cutting the most
dorsal fibers of tr. cortico-habenularis medialis as they enter the stria medullaris and the dorsal
border of the eminentia thalami. Fibers of tr. thalamo-frontalis are seen emerging from the
ventral border of the dorsal thalamus. Large cells of the nucleus of Darkschewitsch occupy
the dorsal border of the peduncle. Laterally of these, tegmental fascicles (7) and (9) are recurving over the peduncle, and two sections farther dorsally, fascicles of group (8) are cut at
the top of their convexity. More posteriorly the section passes through the dorsal border of the
central nucleus of the isthmic tegmentum, laterally of which a few fibers of the brachium conjunctivum are impregnated. Some of these are seen to arise from the nucleus cerebelli. Externally of this nucleus is the posterior neuropil of the isthmus containing dendrites from the
superior visceral-gustatory nucleus, terminals of the ascending secondary visceral tract {tr.v.a.),
and many other components. Behind the auricle the section passes through the ventral part
of the lateral recess of the ventricle and spinalward of this through the "dorsal island" of
Kingsbury.
 
 
Fig. 34. — Ten sections farther dorsally, all components of the stria medullaris can be identified in the ventral habenular nucleus. The tr. habenulo-thalamicus (tr.hab.ih.) contains fibers
passing in both directions between this nucleus and the thalamus and regions posteriorly of it.
The bulbar lemniscus (Im.) and the spinalJemniscus (Im.sp.) traverse the dorsal tegmentum to
reach the dorsal thalamus. More posteriorly the section passes through the gray of the superior
visceral-gustatory nucleus {nuc.vis.s.) and the junction of the body of the cerebellum {c.ch.)
with the auricle.
 
 
Fig. 35. — Through the ventral borders of the dorsal habenular nucleus, nucleus pretectalis,
and tectum. Posteriorly it passes through the superior medullary velum, showing the decussation of the IV nerve roots, and through the body of the cerebellum dorsally of the cerebellar
commissure. Fibers of com. vestibulo-lateralis cerebelli are crossing at this level. Compare
1942, figures 78 and 79, cut in about the same plane, Weigert and Golgi.
 
 
Fig. 36. — Through the com. posterior and the tectum at its widest part. In figures 35 and
36 the brachia of the superior and inferior colliculi are designated tr. tecto-thalamicus rectus
{tr.t.th.r.).
 
 
 
 
Figures 37, 38, and 39. — These semidiagrammatic sketches show some details of the
medulla oblongata from an advanced larva. The sections are obliquely horizontal, with the
right side and the anterior end more dorsal. X 30. The series contains 27 thick Golgi sections,
numbered from dorsal to ventral surfaces, and the data here assembled are selected from sections 11-24. The outlines of sections 13, 17, and 20 are drawn, and upon these there are
sketched some details from these and neighboring sections. The impregnation is scanty on a clear ground, with long courses of individual fibers clearly shown. There is no impregnation of
the lemniscus systems and but little of fibers descending from above the isthmus, so that the
intrinsic bulbar structures impregnated are well defined. In figures 37 and 38 the boundary between gray and white layers is marked by a broken line; in figure 39 the gray of the interpeduncular nucleus is stippled.
 
 
Fig. 37. — On the left side this section cuts through the base of the auricle and the floor of
the lateral recess. The right side is more dorsal and includes the superior visceral-gustatory
nucleus and its neuropil, within which are collaterals from tr. tecto-bulbaris rectus (p. 225).
On the left side, V root fibers arborize in the ventral part of the isthmic neuropil, and some of
them continue into the cerebellar commissure. Almost the entire course of the postfacial f .
solitarius is projected from several sections.
 
 
 
Fig. 38. — This section on the left cuts the superficial origins of the V, VII, and VIII nerve
roots and, farther forward, of the III root. The sensory V fibers are seen to bifurcate with more
slender ascending branches, most of which arborize in a neuropil, wliich is the primordiuni of
the superior sensory V nucleus of mammals. The prefacial f. solitarius fibers are smooth and
unbranched to their terminals rostrally and internally of the entering V root. Some impregnated fibers of the vestibular root (r. VIII.) extend forward to end within and rostrally of the
superior V neuropil, but these are not drawn. Internally of tlie trigeminal neuropil and confluent with it are terminals of ascending crossed and uncrossed fibers termed tr. bulbo-isthmialis
(fr.b.is.), which is continuous with tr. spiuo-bulbaris {tr.sp.b.). These fibers ascend and descend
from all levels of the medulla oblongata, many of them first decussating as internal or external
arcuate fibers. Many of them bifurcate into ascending and descending branches with or without
decussation. They accompany the spinal lemniscus and comprise a mixed bulbo-spinal and
spino-bulbar system.
 
 
Fig. 39. — This section, parallel with the ventral surface, illustrates the courses of some of
the external arcuate fibers, many of which are impregnated on the right side and none on
the left. Useful landmarks are provided by the decussation of Mauthner's fibers (fib.M.) and
two blood vessels, which, farther dorsally, are related with the roots of the V (b.r.V.) and VII
(b.r.VlI.) nerves. No fibers of lemniscus and secondary visceral systems are impregnated.
The visible fibers evidently are concerned chiefly with bulbar and spinal adjustments.
 
 
Figure .1,0. — Detail from a horizontal Golgi section of a late larva, showing the entrance of
the sensory V root and three neurons of the motor V nucleus. X 50. The dendrites extend
laterally to engage collaterals of the sensory root fibers, and in the adjoining section ventrally
other dendrites of these cells ramify downward into the ventral alba, engaging collaterals and terminals of the descending and ascending fibers of the ventral funiculus, here unstained.
Nothing except the elements drawn is impregnated in this region. Presumably, the axons of
these cells enter the motor V root, the unimpregnated myelinated fibers of which are here
darkened by the Golgi fluid.
 
 
Figures 41 to 44- — These semidiagrammatic sketches are made from horizontal Golgi sections of an advanced larva, with elective impregnation of the spinal lemniscus and a few other
details. X 30. The series contains 26 thick sections, numbered from ventral to dorsal. Sections
2, 3, and 4, illustrating innervation of the hypophysis, have been published ('42, figs. 56, 57,
58). Here sections 7, 10, 12, and 14 are drawn, with some additions in each case from intervening sections.
 
 
Fig. 41. — The section passes through the V and VHI roots, with impregnation of superficial
fascicles of descending fibers of both roots and ascending VHI fibers, some of which extend as
far as the cerebellum. No ascending sensory V fibers are impregnated. The loci of the III, IX,
and X roots farther dorsally are indicated by blood vessels which accompany these roots. The
thick arcuate fibers from the region of the calamus scriptorius enter a mixed tract marked
Im.sp., which here contains bulbo-spinal, spino-bulbar, spino-cerebellar, and spinal lemniscus
fibers. Most of the thin unmyelinated fibers here impregnated come from lower levels of the
spinal cord, and their further ascending course is shown in figures 42, 43, and 44. A few thick
fibers of the ventral funiculi are impregnated, some of which decussate in the ventral commissure below the auricle.
 
 
Fig. 42. — At this level, thick arcuate fibers in the vicinity of the first spinal roots descend in
the calamus region and after crossing join the spinal lemniscus. Some of these bifurcate with a
thick ascending branch and a slender descending. Farther forward under the auricle the
lemniscus fibers turn dorsalward in the ventral part of the isthmic neuropil, and here many of
them end. This is tr. bulbo-isthmialis of figures 38 and 39. The lemniscus fibers which continue
rostrad have collateral endings here. Other elective Golgi preparations from this lot show the
origin of spinal lemniscus fibers from the nuclei of the dorsal funiculus ('446).
 
 
Fig. 43. — This section cuts the III nerve root and its nucleus and, in the isthmic neuropil,
dispersed fibers of the spinal lemniscus and ascending VIII root. Medially of these are axons
emerging from the gray of the trigeminal tegmentum, which turn forward and arborize within
the gray of the isthmic tegmentum (p. 185).
 
 
Fig. 44. — At this level the few remaining impregnated fibers of the spinal lemniscus are
turning forward across the dorsal tegmentum to reach the dorsal thalamus. The crude drawing
gives a very inadequate picture of the delicacy of these widely branched terminal arborizations. The more numerous fibers of this tract, which arborize in the tectum, are not impregnated in this preparation (compare fig. 101 and '396, fig. 26). For the patterns of vascular
supply sketched in the left thalamus see page 27.
 
 
Figure 45. — Terminals of the dorsal lateral-line root of the facial nerve, from the right side
of a horizontal Golgi section of a late larva. X 50. Only three fibers of this root are impregnated, and each of these ramifies through almost the entire extent of the "dorsal island" of
the area acusticolateralis immediately spinalward of the auricle, which is the exclusive central
field reached by fibers of this root (compare fig. 33).
 
 
Figures ^6 and ^7. — Details from horizontal Golgi sections of an advanced larva. X 75.
 
 
Fig. 46. — A neuron of the anterodorsal part of the trigeminal tegmentum in the ventral
part of the auricle (p. 185). The plane of section is approximately that of figure 31.
 
 
Fig. 47. — A small neuron at the anteroventral border of the body of the cerebellum, where it
merges with the nucleus cerebelli. The slender dendrites extend outward into the dorsal part of
the isthmic neuropil, and the axon is directed forward and downward into the brachium conjunctivum. Fibers of the trigeminal component of the cerebellar commissure (com.cb.) are
approaching their decussation immediately dorsally of this level, as also are more scattered
fibers of the vestibulo-lateral component (com.cb.L).
 
 
Figure ^8. — Detail from a transverse Golgi section previously pictured ('42, fig. 43). X 50.
The small neuron of the dorsal tegmentum has a short axon, which ramifies in the deep
neuropil of the gray near the cell body and also dorsalward in the alba of the anterior end of
the nucleus posterior tecti. On the vascular loops {b.v.) seen here see page 27.
 
 
 
Figure 49. — A typical neuron of the dorsal tegmentum from a horizontal Golgi section of
an advanced larva. X 75. The ependymal surface is marked by a thin line at the left, the pial
surface by a thicker line at the right, and the outer border of the gray by a broken line. The
axon arises from the dendrite and is directed spinalward (downward in the figure) and probably enters tegmental fascicle (7). A similar neuron >Ji s-itu is shown in figure 44 of the
paper of 1942.
 
 
Figure 50. — Horizontal section through the decussation and spiral endings of the f. retroflexus (p. 197). Golgi method. X 50. The semidiagrammatic drawing is based on several adult
specimens, in each of which the fasciculus of both sides is massively impregnated from the
habenula to the interpedvuicular neuropil. All details drawn are visible in two sections of the
specimen outlined (no. 2229), wliich is, however, poorly preserved. Several otlier series of sections show the same relations more clearly, though the oblique planes of some of the sections are
less convenient. The considerable lateral obliquity of one of these gives an interesting view of
the interior of the spiral. In these specimens the spiral endings are impregnated for about twothirds of the distance between the decussation and the level of the V'roots.
 
 
Figures 51 and 52. — Two adjoining horizontal Golgi sections of a late larva, illustrating the
decussation and spiral terminals of the f . retroflexus, which is impregnated on only one side.
The right side is more ventral. X 50.
 
 
Figures 53 and 54. — Two adjacent thick horizontal Golgi sections from an advanced larva.
X 50.
 
 
Fig. 53. — At the level of the fovea isthmi (f.i.) and the decussation of the f. retroflexus.
Laterally of the interpeduncular neuropil are impregnated fibers of tr. olfacto-peduncularis,
with endings by open arborizations in this neuropil; compare figure 59, cut in a similar plane a
little more dorsally.
 
 
Fig. 54. — Ventrally and posteriorly of the decussation only a few isolated fibers of f. retroflexus are impregnated, and tr. olfacto-peduncularis is terminating in the ventral interpeduncular neuropil in the same area as the spiral. The tufted endings seen here are not derived
from either of these tracts.
 
 
 
Figure 55. — Detail of the spiral course of fibers of the f . retroflexus below the decussation,
from a horizontal Golgi section of a late larva. X 50. In the interpeduncular neuropil nothing
but these three fibers is impregnated, so there is no possibility of confusion.
 
 
Figures 56, 57, 5S.- — Three horizontal Golgi sections of an adult brain, in which the right
f . retroflexus is unstained and the left fasciculus is abundantly impregnated from the habenula
to its decussation. X 50. Some details of the decussation are added to figure 58 from the section
adjoining it ventrally. The impregnation fails spinalward of the decussation. The left fasciculus
shows an atypical division into two bundles as it enters the alba of the peduncle (p. 262).
 
 
Figure 59.- — An obliquely horizontal section through the superficial origins of the III roots,
advanced larva. X 50. Here it is in about the plane of figure 30, but sharply inclined to the
horizontal plane, with the posterior end more ventral and the anterior end more dorsal than
that level. Impregnated fibers of the olfacto-peduncular tract pass the region of the fovea isthmi and then turn medially. Most of them end in the interpeduncular neuropil with open
arborizations, though some extend farther spinalward (compare figs. 53, 54). From this neuropil slender axons of the dorsal interpedunculo-bulbar tract descend near the mid-plane and
soon turn laterally to end in a dense axonic neuropil at the ventral border of the caudal end of
the tegmentum isthmi and rostral end of the tegmentum trigemini. Here they engage dendrites
of the smaller neurons of this region. Other preparations show that some of these fibers extend
spinalward as far as the IX nerve roots.
 
 
Figures 60 to 6^. — These drawings present additional details from a series of transverse
Golgi sections (no. 2246), which has already been quite fully described and illustrated in the
sector of the brain stem between the interventricular foramen and the nucleus of the IV nerve
('27, pp. 271, 278, figs. 22-40). Those figures were drawn from sections selected from nos.
55-97 of the series. Section 88 was subsequently drawn on a larger scale to show some details
of structure, including the arrangement of the tegmental fascicles, at the level of the III nerve
roots ('42, fig. 44). Figures 60-64 extend the series spinalward (X 50), with special reference to
the interpeduncular connections of the tegmentum, which are here well impregnated. These
tegmento-interpeduncular fibers comprise one component of the complex f. tegmentalis profundus (p. 286), and the incomplete references to them made in 1927 can now be clarified and
rectified. In this specimen there is no impregnation of the f . retroflexus or tr. olfacto-peduncularis. A few neurons of the interpeduncular nucleus are incompletely stained, but apparently
no axons from these cells are impregnated. The dense interpeduncular neuropil here seen is composed almost exclusively of axons from the tegmentum and tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis.
Terminals of the latter, when separately impregnated, are seen to be of more open texture than
the dense vertically arranged terminal tufts of the tegmento-interpeduncular fibers (fig. 60).
The two types of terminals are closely interwoven with each other and with tufted terminals
derived from axons of neurons of the interpeduncular nucleus (not here impregnated) .
 
 
 
 
 
Fig. 60. — This section lies between the nuclei of the III and IV nerves, i.e., between the
levels of figures 92 and 93, at about the level of figure 13 of 1936 and two sections rostrally of
figure 39 of 1927. The drawing is a composite, containing some details from the two adjoining
sections. Axons from both dorsal and isthmic tegmentum descend in the f. tegmentalis profundus, some terminating in the underlying interpeduncular neuropil and some of thicker caliber decussating in the ventral commissure (fr.ieg.b.), where collaterals separate from them to
end in tufts of the interpeduncular neuropil. In figure 39 of 1927 these decussating fibers are
called tr. tegmento-peduncularis, and the same fibers are here called tr. tegmento-bulbaris.
Both designations are correct. The larger number of these fibers after decussation turn spinalward, some sending collaterals forward also. Others turn rostrad into the peduncle.
 
 
Fig. 61.— This section passes through the nucleus of the IV nerve, and the three neurons
impregnated probably belong to this nucleus. Approximately the same plane is illustrated in
several published figures ('25, figs. 9, 19; '36, fig. 14; '42, fig. 43). At this level the myelinated fibers of the ventral median fascicles (1) are turning laterally to enter tr. tecto-bulbaris cruciatus in the position of the broken lines under the gray of the interpeduncular nucleus. The
thick fibers of tr. tegmcnto-bulbaris shown in figure 60 are here reduced in number, and the
thin fibers of tr. tegmento-interpeduncularis are more numerous. These terminals and those of
tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis enter into the dense axonic interpeduncular neuropil.
 
 
Pig 62. This detail is from the lower part of the interpedimcular nucleus rostrally of the
 
V nerve roots, not far from the plane of figure 91. There is impregnation of a typical large
neuron of the trigeminal tegmentum and a smaller element at the border of the interpeduncular
nucleus. In the interpeduncular neuropil the visible fibers are nearly all derived from the
overlying tegmentum, with perhaps some terminals of tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis. At this
level the ventral fascicles (4), (5), and (6) have united to form a compact f. longitudinalis
medialis, and the dorsal fascicles spread out laterally into the isthmic neuropil and bulbar
tegmentum (compare the horizontal sections, figs. 29-32).
 
 
 
 
 
Fig. 63. — Detail of floor-plate structure immediately caudad of the V nerve roots. Though
the interpeduncular nucleus is not considered to extend as far spinalward as this level, the
lateral and dorsal interpeduncular axonic neuropil is still rather dense (compare figs. 79, 81).
The fibers impregnated here are derived chiefly from the overlying tegmentum, and some of
them descend as far as the VII roots accompanying the dorsal and ventral tr. interpedunculobulbaris, which is not impregnated in this specimen. Two typical ependymal elements of the
bulbar tegmentum are drawn.
 
 
Fig. 64. — This is a similar sketch of the ventral median raphe at the level of the VII nerve
roots. A remnant of the tegmento-interpeduncular neuropil persists, and this extends no
farther spinalward, though other preparations show that axons from the interpeduncular
nucleus reach at least as far as the IX nerve roots. The ependyma here is more compact and
mossy than at the level of the trigeminus.
 
 
Figures 65 and 66.— Two transverse sections through the interpeduncular region at the
level of transition between the isthmic and the trigeminal tegmentum of the adult. X 50.
Each figure is a composite of two adjacent sections, so that four consecutive sections are represented in the two drawings.
 
 
Sections taken farther forward from this well-impregnated series have been shown ('42,
figs. 45-47). Between the levels of the III and IV nuclei, tr. tegmento-interpeduncularis is selectively stained, with tufted endings in the interpeduncular neuropil similar to those shown
in figures 61 and 6:2. At the level of figure 65 only a few of these fibers are impregnated and
also a few neurons of the interpeduncular nucleus with dendrites extending downward into the
interpeduncular neuropil.
 
 
In figure 66 the neurons of the interpeduncular nucleus are seen to have thick dendrites
extending laterally to ramify widely in the alba of the isthmic and trigeminal tegmentum and
thinner dendrites directed ventrally into the interpeduncular neuropil. Both dendritic and
axonic arborizations enter the glomerulus-like tufts; but, in order to clarify their relations,
only the dendritic component is drawn on the left side and the axonic component on the
right (compare figs. 83, 84).
 
 
Figure 67.- — Transverse section through the middle of the interpeduncular nucleus of a halfgrown larva. X 75. The broken line marks the outline of the gray substance. The Golgi impregnation is scanty, showing in this region only a few decussating fibers of tr. tegmento-bulbaris on a clear ground. The more dorsal of the two fibers shown is sketched from the adjoining
section spinalward. These thick axons probably arise from unimpregnated cells of the isthmic
tegmentum, as shown in figiu-e 68. In the ventral commissure, where these fibers decussate,
slender collaterals leave them to ramify in the interpeduncular nucleus and its neuropil.
 
 
Figure 6S. — A diagram based on Golgi sections of a larval Arablystoma from the same lot
as figure 67. X 75. The sections are obliquely transverse. The section outlined is in about the
same plane as figure 67 on the right and passes through the auricle on the left. The details are
from this and the two adjoining sections. Everything drawn was observed, but the assembly is
schematic. Thick axons of neurons of the isthmic tegmentum {tr.feg.b.) converge into the ventral commissure, where slender collaterals separate from them to arborize in tufted form in the
interpeduncular neuropil.
 
 
Figures 69 a/id 70. — These two drawings illustrate details of the interpeduncular region at
and immediately rostrally of the nucleus of the IV nerve (compare the diagram, fig. 68).
X 50. The impregnation of the transverse Golgi sections of this adult brain is exceptionally
good, and it has been quite fidly illustrated (';*7. figs. ^4-30; U, figs. 24-31).
 
 
Fig. 69. — This section is adjacent posteriorly to the one shown in figure 30 of 1942, to which
reference may be made for the topographic relations. In both figures the bundles of myelinated
fibers of the ventral and ventromedian tegmental fascicles are outlined with broken lines. In
the interpeduncular region of the section here shown, there is no impregnation of any nervous
elements except a few fibers of tr. tegmento-bulbaris at their decussation in the ventral commissure. Within the commissure slender collaterals descend into the interpeduncular neuropil,
where some of them have tufted endings.
 
 
Fig. 70.^This is drawn from the second section spinalward of figure 69, through the nucleus
of the IV nerve, one neuron of which is impregnated. Thick myelinated axons of the IV nerve
root (darkened by the Golgi fluid) ascend from this nucleus in the position indicated by broken
lines. Typical ependymal elements of the ventral raphe are drawn.
 
 
Figure 71. — Obliquely longitudinal section of the adult brain taken not far from the midsagittal plane, with the dorsal and anterior sides inclined somewhat laterally, so that almost
the entire length of the f. retroflexus appears in a single thick Golgi section. Golgi method.
X 30. The drawing is semidiagrammatic, with some details added to the section outlined from
neighboring sections and from the opposite side.
 
 
At the point where tr. cortico-habenularis medialis joins the stria medullaris, numberless
fine collaterals separate from it to enter the eminentia thalami. The section cuts the optic
nerve at its junction with the brain. Peripherally, each optic nerve between the foramen and
the brain shows several hundred impregnated unmyelinated fibers, most of which lose the stain
before entering the brain. The surviving impregnated fibers decussate in chiasmatic bundles 1
(ch.l.) at the extreme anteroventral angle of the chiasma and ascend toward the tectum as the
most rostral fibers of the marginal optic tract, losing the stain before reaching the tectum
("42, p. 232).
 
 
The abundant impregnation of the f . retroflexus extends only as far as the decussation, below which its fibers are unstained. As these fibers turn medially toward the decussation, many
of them separate and descend uncrossed along the lateral margin of the interpeduncular neuropil. The locus of the sidcus isthmi on the ventricular siu-face is projected upon the drawing as a thick broken line. In the posterior hp of this fissure there is massive elective impregnation of
the brachium conjunctivura and the locus of the decussation of these fibers more medially is
marked by three crosses. Before and after crossing, many of these fibers turn spinalvvard in
the superficial alba of the isthmic tegmentum.
 
 
Figures 72 and 7S. — Two semidiagrammatic drawings from an obliquely longitudinal series
of Golgi sections of an adult brain. The sections are cut at an angle of about 30° from the
sagittal plane, with dorsal and posterior sides more lateral.
 
 
Fig. 72. — These details are assembled from several consecutive sections to illustrate some
components of the complex of fibers at the di-telencephalic boundary. X 25. Only some of
the thicker unmyelinated axons are impregnated in this preparation. The ventral border at the
 
 
 
 
left is near the median plane, and posteriorly of this place the section is inclined laterally. At
the posteroventral border of the primordium hippocampi some thick fibers are seen to converge
at the thalamic junction, and Weigert sections show that a few of them are myelinated. The larger number of these fibers descend to the hippocampal commissure, and a smaller number a.scend
in the stria medullaris thalami as tr. cortico-habenularis medialis. Others descend obliquely posteroventrad into the ventral thalamus, passing through and posteriorly of the gray of the
eminentia thalami^ — tr. cortico-thalamicus medialis. This is the precursor of the mammalian
columna fornicis, but here apparently none of these fibers reach the mamillary region of the
hypothalamus. These thick fibers are accompanied by far more numerous very thin fibers,
some of which arise as collaterals from the decussating fibers of the hippocampal commissure
(fig. 71). An impregnated neuron of the bed-nucleus of the anterior commissure ridge is
sketched from the most lateral of the sections here represented. Its dendrites spread dorsally
and ventrally among the hippocampal fibers; the course of the axon is not revealed.
 
 
The well-impregnated fibers of tr. thalamo-frontalis arise from the cells of the dorsal
thalamus shown in figure 73. In the chiasma ridge, chiasmatic bundles 2 and 3 of optic fibers
are impregnated, and their terminals in the lateral part of the tectum are seen at the top of the figure. The details of this optic connection have been pubHshed ('42, p. 235). The fibers of
f . tegmentaHs profundus seen at the right are ascending from their decussation in the ventral
commissure to spread superficially over the lateral aspect of the isthmic tegmentum. Most of
these fibers belong to the brachium conjunctivum.
 
 
Fig. 73. — Section more medially, showing details of the origin of the f. retroflexus from the
habenula. X 50. The drawing is a combination of three adjoining sections. Only the thicker
axons of the fasciculus are here impregnated. These surround a dense fascicle of thinner unstained fibers. The fibers here impregnated arise from neurons of the habenula, from others
more posteriorly in the pars intercalaris, and probably also from some of the impregnated
neurons of the pars dorsalis thalami. None of these stained fibers reach the interpeduncular
nucleus. They spread out in the alba of the posteroventral part of the peduncle, some turning
forward into area ventrolateralis pedunculi. The dendrites of the impregnated neurons of the
dorsal thalamus extend dorsally among terminals of tr. tecto-thalamicus rectus and also for
long distances posteroventrally, accompanying the f . retroflexus into the area of the primordial
geniculate bodies (pp. 221, 238). Sections taken more laterally show abundant impregnation of
axons from this group of cells which enter tr. thalamo-frontalis (fig. 72).
 
 
Figures 74 to 78. — Five sagittal sections of the adult brain, illustrating the composition of
the stria medullaris thalami (p. 256 and fig. 20). X 37. The sections were prepared by the
reduced silver method of Cajal and cut at 10 n slightly oblique to the sagittal plane, with the
dorsal and rostral sides more lateral (compare "36, figs. 17-79, where the dorsoventral obliquity
is in the reverse direction). In these sections the thickest axons, both myelinated and unmyelinated, are black, and the thinner fibers range through gray to brown or yellow, so that components of the stria are well dififerentiated.
 
 
Fig. 74. — This cuts through the di-telencephalic junction near its lateral border, passing
through the olfacto-peduncular tract below, and above this through the dorsal and ventral
fascicles of the lateral forebrain bundle. The artery (r.h.m.) lies in the floor of the stem-hemisphere fissure. Here four components of the stria medullaris converge, two of them- — tr. olfactohabenularis anterior and lateralis — passing up from the ventral surface externally of the lateral
forebrain bundles.
 
 
Fig. 75. — In the region of the stem-hemisphere fissure the section passes medially of the
lateral forebrain bundles, showing the connection of tr. olfacto-habenularis medialis and tr.
septo-habenularis with the stria. Ventrally the plane of section is not far from that of figure
103; dorsally it is much more lateral.
 
 
Fig. 76. — At this level tr. cortico-habenularis medialis enters the stria and ascends as its
mo.st rostral member. All components of the stria are distributing fibers in the habenular
neuropil, posteriorly of which several of the tracts retain their identity. Fibers of tr. habenulothalamicus which recurve spinalward over the gray of the dorsal thalamus have been seen to
connect only with the ventral habenular nucleus. This tract includes also thalamo-habenular
fibers. The boundary of the gray of the eminentia thalami is marked by a broken line.
 
 
Fig. 77. — A large proportion of the fibers of all components are here dispersed in the habenular neuropil. A residue of fibers is accumulated posteriorly in a commissural bundle, within
which the following components can be identified: tr. cortico-habenularis lateralis and medialis,
tr. olfacto-habenularis anterior, tr. amygdalo-habenularis.
 
 
Fig. 78. — In this section, 300 ^ from the mid-plane, the limits of the gray of the dorsal
habenular nucleus (corresponding with the medial nucleus of mammals) and of the pretectal
nucleus are marked by broken lines. Most of the habenidar neuropil has disappeared. Some
fibers from this residue enter the habenular commissure, but most of the crossing fibers are
derived from recognizable tracts. The thickest fibers cross at the anterior end of the commissure. These apparently are derived chiefly from tr. amygdalo-habenularis, with additions from
other components. The thinner fibers of the commissural bundle include clearly some residue
of tr. cortico-habenularis lateralis and medialis and tr. olfacto-habenularis anterior.
 
 
Figures 79 and SO.— Two adjoining obliquely sagittal Golgi sections of the adult brain, illustrating some components of the interpeduncular neuropil. In this specimen the finest axons are
richly impregnated, especially the deep neuropil of the gray substance, which is continuous
throughout the tectum, peduncle, and dorsal, isthmic, and bulbar tegmentum. In the area illustrated it receives fibers from the fields dorsally and anteriorly, and from it axons descend to the isthmic and bulbar tegmentum. All cell bodies are imbedded in this dense fibrillar reticulum. On
these small-scale drawings it is impossible to portray the delicacy and complexity of this tissue,
and the attempt is made to indicate the general trend of its coarser fibers.
 
 
Fig. 79. — This section is median in the floor of the ventricle from the fovea isthmi to the
level of the IX nerve roots. X 40. The ventricular floor from the fovea to the tuberculum
posterius is projected from two adjacent sections, as indicated by a dotted line. This section is
very thick and is so inclined dorsoventrally as to include above the ventricular floor a thin
slice of the nucleus of the tubercidum posterius, tegmentum isthmi, and rostral end of the
trigeminal tegmentum of one side, ^'entrally of the ventricular floor in the isthmus region the
section cuts the interpeduncular nucleus and neuropil close to the mid-plane on the opposite
side. The level of the VIII nerve roots is indicated by the decussation of Mauthner's fibers,
from which one of the fibers is seen descending. The other fiber appears in the adjacent section
24. From the latter section tlie portion of tr. interpedunculo-bulbaris dorsalis (ir.inp.b.d.)
spinalward of this decussation is added to the drawing, showing that some fibers of this tract
descend as far as the level of the IX nerve roots. None of its fibers have been seen to extend
farther spinalward. The ventral division of this tract {Ir.inp.h.r.), on the contrary, goes much
farther, perhaps as far as the spinal cord.
 
 
At the fovea isthmi several ependymal elements are impregnated, and a small artery here
enters the foveal pit at the ventral surface. These ependymal elements are crossed by unimpregnated myelinated fibers of the ventral tegmental fascicles {f.m.f.{l)), as indicated by dashed
lines. A single small neuron of the nucleus of the tuberculum posterius is impregnated. Its
dendrites spread downward among slender tortuous axons of tr. mamillo-peduncularis, which
form a dense neuropil in the gray of the peduncle. In this plane no fibers of tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis are stained, but they are abundant farther laterally.
 
 
Unimpregnated cell bodies of the interpeduncular nucleus are clearly visible, arranged as
indicated by the dotted outlines. Among these and ventrally of them is dense neuropil, very
inadequately shown in the drawing. These fibers are derived in part from tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis and from the overlying tegmentum, and in larger part they are axons of the cells
of the interpeduncular nucleus. These axons take tortuous courses, mainly directed dorsalward
into the isthmic and trigeminal tegmentum and spinalward into the dorsal and ventral interpedunculo-bulbar tracts. From them arise numberless collaterals which ramify in the interpeduncular neuropil and enter the glomeruli (fig. 83).
 
 
Fig. 80.— The adjoining section. X 75. The ependymal floor of the ventricle is slightly to one
side of the mid-plane, ventrally of which the section is inclined laterally. Heavy broken lines
mark the upper and lower limits of the zone of unimpregnated cell bodies of the interpeduncular
nucleus. Scattered cells of this nucleus are distributed in the underlying neuropil except its
ventral part. Above this zone of den.sely crowded cells are the less crowded cells of the isthmic
and trigeminal tegmentum, none of which are impregnated. One neuron of the interpeduncular
nucleus is impregnated with dendrite directed ventrally into the neuropil. Fragments of other
dendrites, with tufted terminals in glomeruli, are spread throughout tlie neuropil, some of
which are drawn (compare figs. 65, 66, 81-84). There is no other impregnation in the ventral
interpeduncular neuropil containing the unimpregnated spiral endings of the f. retroflexus,
but dorsally of this there are stained axons of various sorts among the dendrites. These are not
drawn, except those lying between the cells of the interpeduncular nucleus and the myelinated
fibers of the ventral commissure, the most dorsal bundles of which are outlined with dotted
lines. Most of the.se immyelinated fibers enter tr. interpeduncvdo-bulbaris dorsalis. The interpeduncular neuropil is broadly connected with the overlyiiig tegmental neuropil by fibers
passing in both directions. In this plane (not drawn) there are a few fibers of tr. niamillo-interpeduncularis and more of them farther laterally.
 
 
Figure ,Si .—Obliquely sagittal Golgi section of an adult brain taken close to the mid-plane.
X 60. Some other sections of this specimen have been published (fig. 101; '25, figs. 14, 40).
The plane of section of this figure is similar to that of figure 79, but somewhat more oblique.
The ventral surface is nearly median in the isthmus, and dorsally and anteriorly of this the
plane is inclined laterally. Since the sections are very thick, the dorsal ventricular border of the
tuberculum posterius (indicated by the dotted line), and a slice of the lateral wall dorsally of it
are included in the section outlined. The detail is drawn from this section and the adjacent
section laterally. The four components of the commissure of the tuberculum posterius (p. 302) and the dorsal fascicles of the ventral commissure posteriorly of the fovea isthmi are outlined
with dotted lines. The decussation of the anterior division of tr. tecto-bulbaris cruciatus in the
ventral median tegmental fascicles {J.m.t.{l)) is indicated by dashed lines (compare '36, fig. 2).
 
 
A neuron of the dorsal (mamillary) part of the hypothalamus and the dendrite of another
are impregnated. Their axons branch, and one branchlet enters tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis.
This tract partially decussates in component 1 of the commissure of the tuberculum posterius
(the retroinfundibular commissure of the literature), and its slender unmyelinated fibers arborize in the rostral part of the interpeduncular neuropil chiefly laterally of the plane here
shown (compare '36, figs. 3, 8, 20). Two ependymal elements are drawn. These lie near the
ventral median raphe under the cerebellum (compare figs. 63, 64, 70).
 
 
Unimpregnated cell bodies of the interpeduncular nucleus are scattered under the ependymal surface and among the myelinated median fascicles and ventral commissure bundles. A
well-impregnated dendrite of one of these is drawn; it has a tufted terminal near the ventral
surface (compare figs. 62, 65, 66, 80, 82). There is scanty and very clear impregnation of some
of the coarser fibers of the interpeduncular neuropil. Those in its anterior part are derived chiefly from tr. mamillo-interpeduncularis and probably some from tr. olfacto-peduncularis, which
is partially impregnated more laterally (fig. 101). More posteriorly the visible fibers all seem to
be axons of cells of the interpeduncular nucleus which assemble to descend in the dorsal and
ventral interpedunculo-bulbar tracts.
 
 
Figure 82.— k semidiagrammatic drawing of a thick Golgi section from an obliquely sagittal
series of an adult brain. X 37. The section is nearly median posteriorly (at the right), and
anteriorly it is much more lateral, including the f. retroflexus in the peduncle. Some fibers of
this fa.sciculus descend uncrossed into the interpeduncular neuropil. Mingled with the uncros.sed fibers of the f. retroflexus are thicker and smoother fibers of tr. olfacto-peduncularis,
some of which enter the interpeduncular neuropil. Dorsally of these is the mamillo-peduncular
tract, comprising ventral tegmental fascicle (3), and still farther dorsally are fibers of tegmental
fascicle (6), which come from the postoptic commissure. These tegmental fascicles contain both
myelinated and unmyelinated fibers, and both sorts are here darkened by the Golgi treatment.
Between the two tegmental fascicles just mentioned are the darkened thick myelinated fibers
of the anterior division of tr. tecto-bulbaris cruciatus (f.m.1.{l)), some of which decussate near
the fovea isthmi dorsally of the olfacto-peduncular fibers and others descend in the ventral
median fascicles. One neuron of the interpeduncular nucleus is well impregnated and dendrites
of several others, all of which exhibit the characteristic dendritic tufts. No ependyma, spiral
fibers, or axonic tufts are impregnated in the interpeduncular neuropil. The scanty axonic
neuropil is probably composed exclusively of terminals of uncrossed fibers of the f. retroflexus
and olfacto-peduncular tract.

Figure 84. — Diagram of the composition of the interpeduncular glomeruli. X 45. This
drawing, like figure 79, shows the median section of the floor plate and dorsally of this an
oblique slice of the overlying tegmentum. Two neurons of the interpeduncular nucleus are
drawn. Tufted collaterals from the axon of the anterior element engage dendritic glomeruli of
the posterior element. Tufted axonic terminals enter glomeruli from small cells of the isthmic
and trigeminal tegmentum and also from collaterals of tr. tegmento-bulbaris, which arises from
large cells of the same tegmental areas. Compare figures 19 and 83.
 
 
Figure 85. — The lateral aspect of the adult brain, drawn from the same wax model as figure

medullaris thalami seen as projected upon the lateral surface (fig. 20 and chap, xviii). Tractus
olfacto-habenularis lateralis (2) goes directly dorsally from the preoptic nucleus. Tractus
olfacto-habenularis anterior arises in ventral (3) and dorsal (4) divisions from the anterior
olfactory nucleus. Tractus cortico-habenularis lateralis (5) arises from the primordial piriform
lobe and joins no. 4 before entering the stria medullaris.

is shown in figure 110. Figure 105 is a similar diagram at a more dorsal level. Two mitral cells
(1) are drawn and a typical granule cell (2). Two elements of transitional type (3) in the
stratum granidare send slender axons to the anterior olfactory nucleus, three neurons (//) of
which are drawn. Farther back there are three typical neurons of the primordium hippocampi
(6') and one of the primordium pirifornie (-5).

neuropil {c.s.n.), in which only the axonic component is impregnated (cf. fig. 99). Rostrally of
the striatal gray is the extreme ventral border of the neuropil of the caudate nucleus, the structure of which is .shown in figure 109.

bulb and the anterior end of the caudate nucleus, whose gray {nucxaud.) is unimpregnated.
Above and externally of this is a dense impregnation of the caudate neuropil with sharply
defined borders. Some unimpregnated cell bodies are enmeshed within this neuropil, only the
axonic component of which is impregnated. This neuropil is continuous with that of the
remainder of the striatal complex shown in figure 108. Anteriorly of it, six neurons of the anterior olfactory nucleus are impregnated.
