The dorsal column-medial lemniscal projection of anuran amphibians.
???displayArticle.abstract???
The efferent connections of the dorsal column nucleus (DCN) of the anuran amphibians Rana ridibunda and Xenopus laevis have been studied by means of bidirectionally transported tracers. Efferent projections from the DCN innervate the spinal cord, tegmentum of the brain stem, cerebellum, torus semicircularis and thalamus. The pattern of connectivity of the anuran DCN is largely comparable to that of amniotic vertebrates although some peculiarities are found.
