The projections from the anterior (NIA) and posterior (NIP) interposed nuclei to the magnocellular red nucleus (RNm) have been investigated in the rat, using the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase-wheatgerm agglutinin conjugate. Projections from the NIA extend throughout the RNm, whereas those from the NIP only reach its medial aspect. In addition, a topographical organization of the NIA-RNm pathway was found, such that the medial NIA projects ventrally, the lateral NIA projects dorsally.
