Fibers of trigeminal mesencephalic neurons in the maxillary nerve of the rat. 1980

L M Gonzálo-Sanz, and R Insausti

Indirect Wallerian degeneration after sectioning the infraorbital nerve, and retrograde axonal transport following injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the maxillary nerve were studied in rats. These experiments showed the existence of primary trigeminal neurons in the pars caudalis of the ipsilateral trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus and in the supratrigeminal nucleus of Lorente de Nó. Such neurons were interpreted as being responsible for the sensitive innervation of the periodontal membrane.

D008442	Maxillary Nerve	The intermediate sensory division of the trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve. The maxillary nerve carries general afferents from the intermediate region of the face including the lower eyelid, nose and upper lip, the maxillary teeth, and parts of the dura.

D008636	Mesencephalon	The middle of the three primitive cerebral vesicles of the embryonic brain. Without further subdivision, midbrain develops into a short, constricted portion connecting the PONS and the DIENCEPHALON. Midbrain contains two major parts, the dorsal TECTUM MESENCEPHALI and the ventral TEGMENTUM MESENCEPHALI, housing components of auditory, visual, and other sensorimoter systems.

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.

D014278	Trigeminal Nuclei	Nuclei of the trigeminal nerve situated in the brain stem. They include the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS, SPINAL), the principal sensory nucleus, the mesencephalic nucleus, and the motor nucleus.
