【 摘 要 】

References(17)The aim in this study is to elucidate the laterality of chicken spinocerebellar (SC) neurons that originate from the caudal cervical to caudal lumbosacral spinal cord. SC neurons in the spinal segment (SS) 17-20 consisted of a mixture of crossed and uncrossed axons. SC neurons in the more cranial and caudal SS than SS 17-20 (transitional zone) were generally uncrossed and crossed, respectively. In the transitional zone, SC neurons in spinal border cells and ventral border cells of the ventral horn changed dramatically from an uncrossed to a crossed type between SS 17 and SS 18. Chicken SC neurons are markedly different in laterality from mammalian SC neurons.
