Abbreviations: BRF, bulbar reticular formation; Cb, cerebellum; CN, cerebellar nuclei; Cx, cerebral cortex; Dk, Darkeschewitsch nucleus; H, hypophysis; InC, nucleus interstitial of Cajal; LC, locus coeruleus; LPB, lateral parabrachial nucleus; MV, medial vestbibular nucleus; NI, nucleus incertus; Ob, Olfactory bulb; OC, olivary complex; PB, parabrachial nuclei; PC, nucleus of the posterior commissure; PTm, medial pretectal nucleus; Raphe, raphe nuclei; SC, superior colliculus; SubC, subcoeruleus; SV, superior vestibular nucleus; V complex, trigeminal nuclei complex; VTA, ventral tegmental area; VI, abducens nucleus; X zone, the X zone of the cerebellar cortex. The shaded gray areas represent the corpus callosum, fornix, anterior commissure and the optical chiasm and tract.
