Abstract
- The structural arrangement of nucleus rotundus was studied by Golgi method. Large, multiangular principal neurons, their dendrites and dendritic terminals were observed. The long dendrites and their side-branches course parallel and/or perpendicular to each-other and they are arranged about in dorso-ventral latero-medial and rostro-caudal directions. The dendrites and their side-branches develop characteristic terminal branchings. These dendritic terminals overlap each-other and the area is called dendritic terminal field. The tecto-rotundal fibers traverse the nucleus in large bundles and the final sections of fibers join to the dendrites of principal neuron and terminate in dendritic terminal fields.
