Prior studies in this series have clarified the normal organization of subnucleus interpolaris and the response of higher-order neurons to neonatal deafferentation. The present report describes the response of individual rat trigeminal primary afferents to transection of the infraorbital (IO) nerve on the day of birth. Physiologically characterized afferents in adult animals were labeled by intraaxonal injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Qualitative and quantitative examination of the interpolaris collaterals of 62 recovered neurons revealed: 1) an increase in the transverse area of vibrissa afferent terminal arbors, 2) a decrease in the number of boutons per collateral of vibrissa afferents, 3) a decrease in the bouton density of both vibrissa and guard hair primary afferents, 4) a decrease in the circularity of guard hair afferent arbors, 5) an increase in the number of collaterals given off by nociceptive fibers, and 6) abnormal primary afferent topography. The data support the hypothesis that vibrissa afferents respond to neonatal axotomy by central arbor expansion, but not by sprouting. Arbor expansion provides a morphological substrate for the abnormal histochemical staining patterns seen in animals subjected to IO damage in the early postnatal period.

D009411 Nerve Endings Branch-like terminations of NERVE FIBERS, sensory or motor NEURONS. Endings of sensory neurons are the beginnings of afferent pathway to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Endings of motor neurons are the terminals of axons at the muscle cells. Nerve endings which release neurotransmitters are called PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS. Ending, Nerve,Endings, Nerve,Nerve Ending

D014276 Trigeminal Nerve The 5th and largest cranial nerve. The trigeminal nerve is a mixed motor and sensory nerve. The larger sensory part forms the ophthalmic, mandibular, and maxillary nerves which carry afferents sensitive to external or internal stimuli from the skin, muscles, and joints of the face and mouth and from the teeth. Most of these fibers originate from cells of the TRIGEMINAL GANGLION and project to the TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS of the brain stem. The smaller motor part arises from the brain stem trigeminal motor nucleus and innervates the muscles of mastication.
