Abstract
Morphological features of physiologically characterized doubly projecting spinocervical tract-dorsal column postsynaptic (SCT-DCPS) neurons were examined following intracellular injections of horseradish peroxidase. Their cell bodies and majority of dendrites were located in laminae III-IV. The SCT-DCPS neurons have rostrocaudally elongated dendritic trees with spiny fine caliber dendrites, and issue local axon collaterals that are studded with varicosities. The results show that the doubly projecting SCT-DCPS neurons do not represent a morphologically distinct subset of the spinocervical tract (SCT) or dorsal column postsynaptic (DCPS) cells.
