The organization of the tegmental reticular nucleus of von Bechterew (TRN) has been analyzed in Nissl and Golgi material, by fluorescence histochemistry, and by electron microscopy. In the albino rat, the TRN situated in the ventral paramedian midbrain and pontine reticular formation, contains two principal types of neurons. The first is a population of large multipolar neurons (40–80 μm diameter) with abundant Nissl substance and 4–7 smooth dendrites which may extend up to 500 μm in length. The second is medium-sized fusiform neurons (14–40 μm diameter) with less Nissl substance and two primary dendrites that originate from each pole of the soma and have a more closely ramifying dendritic field. Fluorescence histochemistry demonstrates that serotonin neurons constitute one component of the medium-sized neuron group. A third neuronal type, infrequently encountered at the outer margins of the nucleus, corresponds to the large, multipolar isodendritic neurons (soma diameter 40–80 μm) of the pontine reticular formation.
