将生物素化葡聚糖胺（BDA）注射到猫耳蜗前腹核（AVCN）的边缘壳区，逆行标记了前庭神经根（VNR）内的细胞，包括小细胞（索马体面积中值= 111 μm2，等效直径= 11.9 μm），位于AVCN前部的腹侧。这是一个意想不到的新发现。这些细胞分散在BDA标记的纤维中，并平行于VNR纤维的路线定向。我们认为，VNR的小神经元可能作为二级前庭神经元传递信息从前庭终器到耳蜗核（CN）和/或作为中间神经元之间的橄榄耳蜗纤维VNR和CN。
We injected biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) into marginal shell regions of the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN) of the cat. These injections led to retrograde labeling of cells including small cells (median soma area = 111 μm2, equivalent diameter = 11.9 μm) in the vestibular nerve root (VNR), just ventral to an anterior part of the AVCN. This is an unexpected new finding. The cells were scattered among BDA-labeled fibers and were oriented parallel to the course of the VNR fibers. We suggest that the small neurons of the VNR might serve as second-order vestibular neurons conveying information from vestibular end organs to the cochlear nucleus (CN) and/or act as interneurons between the olivocochlear fibers in the VNR and the CN.
