Other parts of the medial nucleus receive their mossy fiber collaterals from the lateral reticular nucleus (Kunzle, 1975 Russchen et al., 1976) and the spinal cord (Matsushita and Ikeda, 1970). The ventral, parvicellular part of the medial nucleus is located at the base of the lobules IX and X. 

The collateral projections from the lateral reticular nucleus terminate in the same regions of the cerebellar nuclei as the direct spinocerebellar projections. According to Matsushita and Ikeda (1976) they are absent from the lateral cerebellar nucleus in the cat, but according to Dietrichs (1983b) certain parts of the lateral nucleus receive lateral reticular afferents. A weak projection of the lateral reticular nucleus to the lateral vestibular nucleus that was described by Dietrichs and Walberg (1979a) in the cat, recently was confirmed in the rat (Ruigrok et al., 1995). 

CGRP-containing neurons were double-labelled with HRP from injections in the cerebellum of the cat in the lateral reticular nucleus, the external cuneate nucleus, the descending vestibular nucleus and in the lateral and ventral divisions of the basilar pons (Bishop, 1992). The origin of a major contingent of CGRP-immunoreactive mossy fibers from the pontine nuclei may explain their preferential distribution to the cerebellar hemisphere.
