An investigator sought to determine the primary neuronal target
structure in the brain which receives inputs from the inferior olivary
nucleus. In order to complete this study, the investigator microinjected a tracer substance into the inferior olivary nucleus which was then transported from the cell bodies in the inferior olivary nucleus down the axons to their target structures. Which of the following structures would contain the tracer substance indicating that it constitutes a principal projection target of the inferior olivary nucleus?
a. Cerebral cortex
b. Midbrain periaqueductal gray
c. Dorsal column nuclei
d. Cerebellar cortex
Post your answers, correct answer will be posted in evening.
