Abstract

Using retrograde transport of the fluorescent dye Evans Blue (EB), in combination with glyoxylic acid histofluorescence, the ponto-spinal catecholaminergic pathways were investigated. The cells which contain catecholamine and project to the lumbar spinal cord of the cat are most densely concentrated in the Kölliker-Fuse nucleus. Locus coeruleus, the subcoeruleus area, and the parabrachial nuclei were found to have relatively few cells that both contain catecholamine and project to the lumbar spinal cord.
