The mantle zone of the neural tube differentiates into an alar plate and a basal plate. Which of the following brainstem nuclei is NOT derived from the alar plate?
Alar plate derivatives:Dorsal column nuclei, which consist of the gracile and cuneate nucleiInferior olivary nucleiSolitary nucleusSpinal trigeminal nucleusCochlear and vestibular nucleiBasal plate motor neuroblasts give rise to: Hypoglossal nucleusNucleus ambiguusDorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve and inferior salivatory nucleus of the glossopharyngeal nerveRef: BRS Neuroanatomy By James D.
