Primary vagal nerve projections to the lateral descending trigeminal nucleus in boidae (Python molurus and Boa
Brain Research
|March 14, 1983
Abstract:
The primary vagal axons and terminals within the lateral descending trigeminal tract (dlv) and nucleus (DLV) of two species of Boidae are studied following HRP injections of the vagal nerve. Labeled fibers and terminals are found in the tail portion of the dlv and DLV, partly forming a neuropil at its margin. The labeled thin fibers and neuropil seem to correspond to the C-fibers and marginal neuropil of Crotalinae.
