In 11 adult cats unilateral (or bilateral in cat 148) lesions were made at the mesodiencephalicjunction by means of electrocoagulation. The brain stem of these animals was cut transversely in frozen sections, which were impregnated according to the Nauta-Gygax silver technique 6. Only the distribution of the descending degenerating fibers was studied since the ascending degenerating fibers could not be separated from the fibers of cerebellar origin. According to the lesion sites the animals were divided into 3 groups.Group I consisted of 5 cats. In cats 109, 114 and 124 the lesions destroyed the entire interstitial nucleus of Cajal (IS) and the immediately adjacent structures. In cats 148R and 146 the lesions destroyed the caudal part of the IS and the adjoining part of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF). In all these animals the following groups of degenerating fibers were observed.(a) A limited number of fibers crossed through the posterior commissure to terminate primarily in the contralateral IS and in the contralateral oculomotor and trochlear nuclei (1 in Fig. IA). The fibers reached these eye muscle nuclei primarily by way of the contralateral MLF.
