METHODSAnatomy Four mongrel dogs weighing 18-30 lb. were used to trace fibers from the cochlear complex to the superior olive. The cochlear nucleus was exposed by removal of the lateral part of the cerebellum. Lesions were made with an iridectomy knife and, in some cases, were enlarged by suction through a glass pipette. After 7 to 10 days, each animal was perfused transcardially with the solutions recommended by Koenig, Groat, and Windle (23), the final solution containing 3% potassium dichromate (GL Rasmussen, personal communication). The brain was removed the next day, placed in formolsaline for 5 to 7 days and then trimmed. Frozen sections, 30 p in thickness, were cut in a frontal plane. Every fifth section was stained by the Laidlaw modification of the Nauta-Gygax technique (5, 29). Adjacent sections were stained with cresyl violet. Similarly prepared material from six cats was also available.The morphology of the superior olivary complex was reviewed in three normal dog brains which had been embedded in celloidin and sectioned at 30 p. One of the brains was cut in a frontal, another in a sagittal, and the third in a horizontal plane. A set of sections from each brain was stained with cresyl violet and a second set prepared by Woelke’s method for the demonstration of myelinated fibers. One normal cat brain cut in a frontal plane was also studied.
