Research Abstract |
There is no report that reveals the role and anatomical distribution of the proprioception of the eyelid, and the origin of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve. In this study, we labeled the lacrimal nerve stump of rats by retrograde neuronal tracer, Fluoro-Gold. We could observed the labeled somata of trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus in the midbrain and pons.
