Abstract: | After applying horseradish peroxidase to peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve in the cat, the lingual and pterygopalatine nerves were found to contain fibers which ended ipsilaterally in the rostral portions of the solitary nucleus (SN); massively in the medial and ventrolateral SN, moderately in the intermediate and interstitial SN and sparsely in the ventral SN. The rostralmost part of the SN was free from labeled terminals. After injecting the enzyme into the SN portions rostral to the area postrema, small neurons were scattered in the maxillary and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal ganglion. |
