Morphological effects of VIth nerve section in the kitten as revealed by horseradish peroxidase. 1985

R Pásaro, and B Torres, and J M Delgado-García

The effects of the chronic section of the VIth nerve have been studied in kittens with the help of the horseradish peroxidase intra-axonal retrograde tracing method. Two months following the section of the VIth nerve, only 50% of the abducens motoneuron population was left. However, shapes, somata sizes and cell distribution through the nucleus of the remaining neurons were similar to those shown by controls. Functional implications of the findings are discussed.

D011149	Pons	The front part of the hindbrain (RHOMBENCEPHALON) that lies between the MEDULLA and the midbrain (MESENCEPHALON) ventral to the cerebellum. It is composed of two parts, the dorsal and the ventral. The pons serves as a relay station for neural pathways between the CEREBELLUM to the CEREBRUM.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D020222	Abducens Nerve Injury	Traumatic injury to the abducens, or sixth, cranial nerve. Injury to this nerve results in lateral rectus muscle weakness or paralysis. The nerve may be damaged by closed or penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA or by facial trauma involving the orbit.
