The ventricular sulcal pattern and the cellular structure of the brain stem of the axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum have been studied in transversely cut Nissl and Bodian stained serial sections. Six longitudinal sulci, the sulcus medianus inferior, the sulcus intermedius ventralis, the sulcus limitans, the sulcus intermedius dorsalis, the sulcus medianus superior and the sulcus lateralis mesencephali could be distinguished. A seventh groove, the sulcus isthmi, clearly deviates from the overall longitudinal pattern of the other sulci. Although most neuronal perikarya are contained within a diffuse periventricular gray, 19 cell masses could be delineated: seven of these are primary efferent or motor nuclei, four are primary afferent or sensory centers, four nuclei are considered as components of the reticular formation, and the remaining four cell masses can be interpreted as “relay” nuclei.
