The development of ascending spinal pathways has been studied in the clawed toad, Xenopus laevis. From stage 35 (hatching) on, HRP was applied at the spinomedullary border or to the area of the developing dorsal column nucleus, to analyze the development of ascending spinal pathways to the brain stem, and the onset and development of spinal projections to the dorsal column nucleus, respectively. Several populations of spinal neurons with ascending projections at least as far as the spinomedullary border were successively labeled. In early stages ascending spinal projections arise from Rohon-Beard cells and ascending interneuron populations located at the margin of the gray and white matter, i.e., marginal neurons. The ascending interneuron populations could be characterized as dorsolateral commissural and commissural interneurons projecting contralaterally, and as ipsilaterally projecting ascending interneurons and distinguished by Roberts and co-workers. Such a subdivision could be made until about stage 57. Then these ascending and commissural interneuron populations become intermingled with other populations of ascending tract neurons. Rohon-Beard cells could be labeled, more or less shrunken, until stage 55. Around stage 48 (at the time of the appearance of the limb buds) spinal ganglion cells could be labeled from the spinomedullary border and the developing dorsal column nucleus. At stage 48 such ascending primary spinal afferents were found to arise only from non-limb-bud-innervating dorsal root ganglia. Gradually also the limb-bud-innervating ganglia give rise to ascending collaterals, so that by stage 53 all spinal ganglia send ascending collaterals to the brain stem. The number of cells of origin of secondary spinal afferents to the brain stem increases during development, and their distribution becomes more extensive. Particularly impressive is a large population of neurons in the dorsal horn projecting ipsilaterally to the dorsal column nucleus. Part of the latter population represents non-primary spinal afferents to the dorsal column nucleus.
