Values are expressed as mean ± SD and correspond to mean numbers of labeled cells per structure and per hemisection. Significantp values are represented by asterisks (* p< 0.05;
↵F1-160 p < 0.01) and indicate increases in FLI in medullary nuclei ipsilateral to the stimulated nerve compared with the corresponding contralateral structures.
