In the present HRP study extensive reticulospinal projections and more modestly developed vestibulospinal pathways have been demonstrated in the snake Python regius. The funicular trajectories of the main reticulospinal pathways have been shown: via the lateral funiculus pass spinal projections of the nucleus reticularis superior pars lateralis, the nucleus reticularis inferior and nucleus raphes inferior; via the ventral funiculus fibers arising in the nucleus reticularis superior and nucleus reticularis medius. Spinal projections of the locus coeruleus and subcoeruleus area reach their targets via both the lateral and ventral funiculi. Two vestibulospinal pathways have been demonstrated: an ipsilateral tractus vestibulospinalis lateralis arising in the ventrolateral vestibular nucleus, and a contralateral tractus vestibulospinalis medialis from the descending and ventromedial vestibular nuclei. After HRP gel implants into the vestibular nuclear complex direct vestibulocollic projections to motoneurons in the rostral spinal cord were observed. Spinal projections from the ventral part of the nucleus reticularis inferior and the descending and ventromedial vestibular nuclei are mainly aimed at the thin "neck area" (approximately the first 50 spinal segments). This area is extensively used in such acts as orientation and prey-catching, requiring a rather delicate brain stem control.
