The axonal pathway, conduction velocities, and locations of the cell bodies of utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons were studied in decerebrated or anesthetized cats using the collision test of orthodromic and antidromic spikes. For orthodromic stimulation, bipolar tungsten electrodes were placed on the utricular nerve and the other vestibular nerve branches were transected. Monopolar tungsten electrodes were positioned on both sides of the upper cervical segments (C2-4), caudal end of the cervical enlargement (C7-T1), and from the lower thoracic to the upper lumbar segments (T12-L3) and were used for antidromic stimulation of the spinal cord. Another monopolar electrode was also placed in the oculomotor nucleus to study whether utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons have ascending branches to the oculomotor nucleus. Of the 173 vestibular neurons orthodromically activated by the stimulation of the utricular nerve, 46 were second-order vestibulospinal neurons and 5 were third-order neurons. The majority of the utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons were located in the rostral part of the descending vestibular nucleus and the caudal part of the ventral lateral nucleus. Seventy-three percent of the utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons descended through the ipsilateral lateral vestibulospinal tract. Approximately 80% of these neurons reached the cervico-thoracic junction, but a few reached the upper lumbar spinal cord. Twenty-seven percent of the utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons descended through the medial vestibulospinal tract or the contralateral vestibulospinal tracts. Those axons terminated mainly in the upper cervical segments. Almost none of the utricular nerve-activated vestibular neurons had ascending branches to the oculomotor nucleus.
