Abstract:
The cortical distribution of thecells of origin of the corticotrigeminal projection to the oral subnucleus of spinal trigeminal nucleus(Vo)was examined with the HRP retrograde tracing method. The results showed that the coronal gyrus was the main site of origin. The anterior part and the posterior part of the gyrus projected to the dorsomedial portion and the ventrolateral portion of Vo respectively. The amount of labelled cells in the anterior part of the gyrus was much larger than those in the posterior. There were also numerous labelled cells in the anterior parts of orbital gyrus and of the lateral zone of anterior sigmoid gyrus. The most anterior ends of these three gyri joined together forming the so-called "presylvian gyrus" where the labelled cells were most concentrated. In addition, the labelled cells were also scattered in the anterior suprasylvian gyrus, posterior sigmoid gyrus, lateral gyrus and anterior ectosylvian gyrus. All labelled cells were located in the fifth layer of the cortex. Their size varied. The results of the present study did not support that there were projections from the temporal and occipital lobes and proreate gyrus to Vo.
