The development of cerebellar afferents has been studied in the clawed toad, Xenopus laevis, from stage 46 to 64, with the horseradish peroxidase retrograde tracer technique. Already in stage 48 tadpoles, i.e. before the formation of the limbs, a distinct set of cerebellar afferents was found. Vestibulocerebellar (mainly arising bilaterally in the nucleus vestibularis caudalis) and contralateral olivo-cerebellar projections dominate. Secondary trigeminocerebellar (from the descending nucleus of the trigeminal nerve) and reticulocerebellar connections were also found. At stage 50, spinocerebellar projections appear originating from cervical and lower thoracic/upper lumbar levels. The cells of origin of the spinocerebellar projection can be roughly divided in two neuronal types: ipsilaterally projecting large cells, which show a marked resemblance to primary motoneurones ('spinal border cells') and smaller contralaterally projecting neurons. Primary spinocerebellar projections from spinal ganglion cells could not be demonstrated. At stage 50, a possible anuran homologue of the mammalian nucleus prepositus hypoglossi was found to project to the cerebellum. In only one of the experiments labeled neurons were found in the contralateral mesencephalic tegmentum. At none of the studied stages a raphecerebellar projection could be demonstrated. It appears that already early in cerebellar development, before the formation of the limbs, most of the cerebellar afferents as found in adult Xenopus laevis are present.
